Introduction to Business Statistics


Business statistics is not only relevant to your present academic program, it is also relevant to your future personal and professional life. As a citizen, you will be exposed to, and perhaps may even help generate, statistical descriptions and analyses of data that are of vital importance to your local, state, national, and world communities. As a business professional, you will constantly be dealing with statistical measures of performance and success, as well as with employers who will expect you to be able to utilize the latest statistical techniques and com- puter software tools—including spreadsheet programs like Excel and statistical software packages like Minitab—in working with these measures. The chapters that follow are designed to be both informal and informative, as befits an introductory text in business statistics. You will not be expected to have had mathematical training beyond simple algebra, and mathematical sym- bols and notations will be explained as they become relevant to our discussion. Following an introductory explanation of the purpose and the steps involved in each technique, you will be provided with several down-to-earth examples of its use. Each section has a set of exercises based on the section contents. At the end of each chapter you’ll find a summary of what you’ve read and a listing of equations that have been introduced, as well as chapter exercises, an interesting minicase or two, and in most of the chapters—a realistic business case to help you practice your skills.
