STATISTICS BUSINESS&ECONOMICS

Encouraging students to adopt rigorous reasoning as it examines statistical techniques used to make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, this book, above all else, is applications-oriented. Real-life events are featured in each chapter and used as situations to which students can apply the techniques presented. With many example problems, the book's modular format lends itself to a variety of course structures. This edition includes MINITAB computer applications and student workbook, as well as an electronic teaching assistant for lecturers. There are also new chapters on sampling distributions, simultaneous equations and quality control.
