Description

Written by Lind/Marchal/Wathen: "Basic Statistics for Business and Economics, 5e" is a derivative of the best-selling "Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics, 12/e" offering the essential topics of statistical tools and methods delivered in a student friendly, step-by-step format. The text presents concepts clearly and succinctly with a conversational writing style. All statistical concepts are illustrated with solved applied examples immediately upon introduction. Modern computing tools and applications are introduced, though the text maintains a focus on presenting statistics content as opposed to technology or programming methods, and the fifth edition continues as a 'students' text with increased emphasis on interpretation of data and results.
