Statistics for Management and Economics

"The authors systematically teach students what statisticians do--solve problems--focusing on the relationship between the type of problem, the type of data involved, the appropriate technique, and interpreting results. The book includes Data Analysis Plus statistical add-ins for Excel. That greatly expands Excel's capability to be used throughout the course. Step-by-step sited instructions are included. Realistic applications and the use of statistical software and spreadsheets motivate and show them how statistics is relevant to their future careers. Each in-text example utilizes the authors' effective problem-solving approach: 1) identify the appropriate techniques; 2) solve the problem (by hand, with Minitab, with Excel); and 3) interpret results (What does the solution mean in the context of the problem?)" - publisher's description.
