This text is designed for the undergraduate or MBA level course in Business and Economic Statistics. The course can be found in schools of business or departments of statistics and mathematics. College algebra is a prerequisite. MANAGERIAL STATISTICS presents core statistical methods in a modern, unified spreadsheet-oriented approach with a focus on applications to business. This text illustrates, in a very hands-on, example-based approach, a variety of statistical methods to help students analyze data sets and uncover important information to aid decision making. This application focus, together with Excel spreadsheet add-ins, provides a complete learning resource for students.
