ESSENTIALS OF STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, FOURTH EDITION is an introductory stats textbook that emphasizes statistical concepts and applications. The discussion and development of each technique is presented in an application setting, with the statistical results providing insights to decisions and solutions to problems. The easy-to-follow presentation style and problem-scenario approach clearly show how to apply statistical methods in practical business situations. This brief introduction to business statistics balances a conceptual understanding of statistics with the real-world application of statistical methodology. The essentials version features selected core topics from the authors’ market-leading STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, NINTH EDITION presented in 13 chapters. It includes the highly-regarded strengths of the longer text, including the problem-scenario approach that uses real-world examples to introduce stat techniques. Methods, Applications, and Self-Test exercises include hundreds of problems based on real data. Examples and exercises throughout focus on ways that stats contribute to improving the quality of products and services. This text can also be computer integrated at the discretion of the instructor. Instruction for data analysis based on Microsoft Excel and MINITAB is included in appendices of appropriate chapters. Case problems are also provided with the text, with data sets available on disk for both MINITAB 14 and Excel formats.

A useful book
| Customer Rating: | | This is a very useful book for my study. I use it to learn a lot of knowledge. you may try it. |
Stunningly excellent book on basic statistics.
| Customer Rating: | I've taken various probability/statistics classes as an undergrad at VA Tech, and as a grad student at GMU and MIT. This book is without question the best I have seen - by a long shot. Further, it provides the only thorough and rigorous explanation for hypothesis testing I have ever seen.
The theory and end of chapter exercises are as straightforward, clear and concise as you will get. The only manner by which this book could be improved would be by the inclusion of a rigorous proof as to why considerations regarding the degrees of freedom (dof) require that some equations have /n as a denominator while others have /(n-1). |
Confusing, disjointed and too expensive in my opinion.
| Customer Rating: | I teach Statistics for a living, and this book replaced the book by Weiers, a move that I have berated the folks that do our purchasing ever since. The other Stats lecturer felt the same, and we have ended up using old copies of the prior book.
For example, the book gives a miserly single page to explain Quartiles, and has very little in the way of examples that are helpful.
If you HAVE to have it because your school dictates, you have to have it, but if you want to buy a book for the purpose of teaching yourself Stats, look elsewhere. |
You're spinnin' me...
| Customer Rating: | Statistics is supposedly easy right...right! But who knew that a textbook would go to such lengths to make it harder!
The definitions of all the terms we have to deal with in statistics are written so poorly and write themselves in circles. Now, my reading comprehension is pretty high, but getting through these chapters is torture!
A word of advise, if you're taking a class using this book, DO NOT RELY ON IT! Take good notes in class and use this book only as a reference and for assigned work.
ugh. |
