Description
Readers will master the essential statistical concepts and methods needed to make sound business decisions with this book. Revised and updated to reflect contemporary issues in business and management, this book shows how the topics tie together and play a role in "the big picture" of statistical inference. Realistic, business-oriented case studies introduce and motivate the chapter material and are re-examined in a later section. This edition includes thoroughly integrated use of Minitab. SAS is used extensively in later chapters on multiple regression and time series. Z-scores are now included with percentiles in the section on relative standing.
