STATISTICS FOR MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS, ABBREVIATED SIXTH EDITION is a subset of core chapters from the worldwide best selling and more comprehensive, STATISTICS FOR MANAGEMENT AND ECONOMICS, Sixth Edition (2003). This text teaches students how to apply statistics to real business problems through the authors' unique three-step approach to problem solving. Students learn to IDENTIFY the right technique by focusing on the relationship between the problem and data type. They then learn to COMPUTE the answer either by hand, using Excel, or using MINITAB (SPSS and JMP output and instructions appear on the text Web site). Finally, they INTERPRET the results in the context of the problem. This approach enhances student comprehension as well as practical skills, and offers maximum flexibility to instructors wishing to teach concepts by hand or with the computer, or by using both hand and computer methods.
