Description

Statistics for Economics, Accounting and Business Studies, now in a fully revised second edition, presents an exceptionally clear introduction to statistical methods for students of economics, business and accounting. The text covers the two main areas of statistics: Descriptive Statistics (graphs, averages, measures of dispersion, index numbers and measures of inequality) and Inferential Statistics, (probability distributions, estimation, hypotheses testing and regression analysis, including multiple regression). All relevant statistical concepts are presented in a straightforward and student-friendly style. Using actual data to illustrate the text, the book shows how real-life problems can be solved using set techniques - and why particular techniques are chosen. A full set of solutions with commentary is available to lecturers adopting the book as a main text.
