Description
The Practice of Business Statistics offers a welcome innovation by allowing students to make data-informed, real-world business decisions almost from day one. By discussing data production and interpretation early within the book data analysis can then be used all through the course. This method drives home the relevance and usability of statistical ideas to the business world from the onset.
The Practice of Business Statistics responds to concerns about textbook length by offering instructors a lot of possible choices:
A core book containing the primary 14 chapters
Companion chapters on advanced inference topics (to be had at the book companion web page, or through W.H. Freeman Custom Publishing):
15. Two-Means Analysis of Variance
16. Nonparametric Statistics
17. Logistic Regression
18. Bootstrapping Methods and Permutation Tests
