Statistics for Management and Economics

by Gerald Keller, Brian Warrack

This best-selling text teaches students how to apply statistics to real business problems through the authors' unique approach. Keller and Warrack teach students a three-step approach to problem to identify the right technique by focusing on the relationship between the problem and the data; to solve the problem by hand calculation, or by using Microsoft Excel or MINITAB™; and to interpret the results. Step-by-step instructions for both Excel and MINITAB are integrated throughout the book. This approach offers maximum flexibility to instructors wishing to teach concepts primarily by hand or with the computer (Excel or MINITAB) or by using both computer and hand calculation methods.

As someone from an arts and letters background who successfully avoided statistics for the first 18 years of formal education, this the clearest and most concise explanation of quantitative analysis I could have imagined.

I am re-reading this book from college, which was from one of many stats & quantitative analysis classes that I had to take, to support some statistical work functions. It is proving to be a great resource. From all of my stats and quan. classes, this one is the most useful post-school resource. It is written for and applied to business management, so it's not just a math book. I love identifying trends and hunting for savings, and a few of the tools outlined in this book help me with a bit of the behind the scenes math. Oh how fun the world of stats can be. Great book. Easy to read and reference. So glad that I didn't sell this book back.

This is one of my favorite introductory statistics books. There are lots of worked out examples showing all of the calculations. I also like the "Interpreting the Results" sections that follow many examples. This book is geared towards business majors, so it is not heavy on theory.
