Publisher's Synopsis
An accessible text that explains fundamental concepts in business statistics that are often obscured by formulae and mathematical notation
A Guide to Business Statistics offers a practical approach to statistics that covers the fundamental concepts in business and economics. The book maintains the level of rigor of a more conventional textbook in business statistics but uses a more stream-lined and intuitive approach.

The author-an expert in the field-offers concise and straightforward explanations to the core principles and techniques in business statistics. The concepts are intro-duced through examples, and the text is designed to be accessible to readers with a variety of backgrounds. To enhance learning, most of the mathematical formulae and notation appears in technical appendices at the end of each chapter. This important resource:
