Business Statistics in Practice, 3/e delivers clear and understandable explanations of business statistics concepts through the use of case studies and examples. These examples reflect real applications of statistics relevant to business students. A key distinction of Business Statistics in Practice 3/e is the rich and realistic continuing case study examples that provide the architecture of the text. Unlike virtually all other texts, which use discreet examples for each individual subject area, Business Statistics in Practice 3/e relies on these continuing examples to 'frame' the study of statistic and place it squarely into the realm of real business problems and scenarios. Part and parcel with this approach are the rich and relevant data sets used to demonstrate statistical concepts. Bowerman and O'Connell also provide a fresh technology perspective. Excel and Minitab output is included in the text to help students visualize concepts, and a robust Excel add-in package, Megastat is available on the accompanying CD ROM and has been thoroughly integrated into the text.
