Synopsis
This introductory text fully integrates the use of computers with business statistics and presents it at a level that is accessible but challenging to students. It provides a non-intimidating approach to describing the concepts and applications of statistics while giving students the opportunity to observe and actually carry out computer-generated solutions using statistics packages like SPSS and MINITAB, or a spreadsheet package like Excel. A CD-ROM presenting data sets and special Excel macros that Robert Pavur and Kellie Keeling have created will be bound into the back of the book.
