Statistics for Management and Economics Zusammenfassung

Statistics for Management and Economics Gerald Keller

This is the abbreviated edition of Statistics for Management and Economics. The authors systematically teach students what statisticians do - solve problems - focusing on the relationship between the type of problem, the type of data involved, the appropriate technique, and interpreting results. The book includes Data Analysis Plus statistical add-ins for Excel. This greatly expands Excel's capability to be used throughout the course. Step-by-step sited instructions are included. Realistic applications and the use of statistical software and spreadsheets are designed to motivate and show readers how statistics are relevant to their future careers. Each in-text example utilizes the authors' effective problem-solving approach: 1) identify the appropriate techniques; 2) solve the problem (by hand, with Minitab, with Excel); and 3) interpret results (What does the solution mean in the context of the problem?).
