Description

This statistics text for business contains an integration of MINITAB commands, which allow students to explore data sets with minimal supervision and enables the lecturer to discuss applications and/or theory, rather than software use. Bond and Scott have placed the emphasis upon applications rather than computation, thus increasing the understanding of concepts. To further ensure clarity for the student, only essential subject matter has been included. The Go Fast Running Shoe Company Case puts data analysis in a real-world perspective. Computational flexibility is given by the lecturer having the choice of covering hand calculations or computer solutions. This book should be of interest to degree and diploma students on courses in statistics in departments of business and management studies.
