Description
For students with a background in basic algebra, this introduction to statistics for business and economics emphasizes inference, with coverage of data collection and analysis as needed to evaluate the reported results of statistical studies and make good business decisions. It stresses the development of statistical thinking, the assessment of credibility and value of the inferences made from data - both by those who consume and those who produce them - and features case studies, examples and exercises, all drawing on real business situations and recent economic events.
