About this title

From the Publisher:

Greater focus on core topics of business statistics. In an effort to streamline the new edition without sacrificing the level of rigor or style of presentation, the new edition will carefully eliminate those topics that reviewers have noted are either unused or too advanced for an introductory business statistics course.
Spreadsheet application. The new edition incorporates the use of Excel spreadsheets throughout, in addition to continuing to use Minitab where it applies. Excel examples are a current hot topic in this market. It is widely used throughout both a student's academic and occupational careers. The integration in this text exposes students to even more Excel throughout their academic career!
Internet exercises. Internet exercises are included throughout to give students the opportunity to develop better data collection skills and to provide students with exposure to the expansive web resources available to them.
More real world business applications offering a greater variety of business examples and applications.
New problem material. Nearly 50% of the problem material will be new to this edition.
Up-to-date high interest examples, problems and cases.
Intuitive figures that show and explains concepts.
Comprehensive coverage of concepts that provides their historical sources.
Summary review of terms at the ends of chapters in narrative style.
Real world problems drawn from current sources
