Basic business statistics : concepts and applications

Abstract

This book continues to build on the strengths of the fourth edition, and extends the outstanding teaching foundation of the previous American editions, authored by Berenson, Levine and Szabat. The teaching philosophy of this text is based upon the principles of the American book, but each chapter has once again been carefully revised to include practical examples and a language and style that is more applicable to Australasian and Pacific readers. Part 5 contains additional chapters: Chapter 16. On multiple regression and model building; Chapter 17. On decision making; Chapter 18. on statistical applications in quality and productivity management; Chapter 19. On further non-parametric tests and two brand new chapters; Chapter 20. On business analytics and Chapter 21. On data analysis. This chapter will be especially useful to students who wish to understand how the concepts and techniques studied in this book all fit together.
