About the Book

ESSENTIALS OF BUSINESS STATISTICS is a select subset of the core chapters from the renowned INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS STATISTICS. Highly praised for its clarity and great examples, Ronald Weiers' text takes an informal, student-oriented approach to presenting fundamental statistical concepts. Non-technical terminology and outstanding illustrations explain statistical concepts in the context of contemporary applications. Weiers puts business students at ease with the material by providing numerous learning aids and interesting applications drawn from students' real-world experience.
