Extending the teaching foundation of the previous editions, Basic Business Statistics uses a real-world focus. This allows students to visualise how the content can be applied to people and businesses in reality, helping take them look beyond concepts to visualise the theory in a tangible framework.

Using language that is more accessible - but no less authoritative - students can spend more time learning the theories with local examples and a variety of features.

Academics are given the flexibility of designing an engaging unit for a mixed cohort of students with courseware that drives technical and soft skills through authentic learning tools and assignments for hybrid, online and face-to-face units.
