Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach applies statistical analysis to real-world decision making. Clear, step-by-step explanations are supported by examples that use statistical techniques in business decision situations. Featuring real organizations (like Microsoft, Boise Cascade Corporation and the Federal Aviation Administration) with actual applications and rich data sets helps you develop realistic decision-making skills and conveys the relevance of statistics. Drawing from their extensive experience as educators and consultants, the authors present content at a level that is accessible to students at all mathematical skill levels. The 11th Edition updates data and examples throughout, and more.
