Statistics for Business and Economics

Statistics for Business and Economics, 8th Edition, is a textbook designed for business statistics courses that prepares students to conduct serious analysis of applied problems. The text maintains a higher mathematical level than standard introductory business statistics texts to support future managerial roles.

The volume covers graphical and numerical methods for describing data, foundational probability, and both discrete and continuous random variables with their distributions. It also examines sampling distributions, single-population and extended estimation, hypothesis testing, and regression analysis.

The 2012 eighth edition features revised problem contexts that demonstrate how statistical methods improve business and economic analysis.
