Introduces and develops statistical methods and thinking in business contexts, presenting applications from the traditional functional areas of business: accounting, finance, marketing, management, and production. Uses the Minitab statistical package, but the output displayed in the text is generic enough to be used with other statistical software packages. There are many exercises, ranging from simple drills to review questions to analyses of large data which require the use of the included data disk. All 13 chapters end with actual business case studies. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
