| Abstract: | This book was written to provide a strong introductory understanding of applied statistical procedures so that individuals could do solid statistical analysis in many business and economic situations. We have emphasized an understanding of the assumptions that are necessary for professional analysis. With modern computers it is easy to compute, from data, the output needed for many statistical procedures. Thus it is tempting to merely apply simple "rules" using these outputs—an approach used in many textbooks. Our approach is to combine knowledge with many exam¬ples and student exercises, showing how understanding of methods and their assumptions lead to useful comprehension of business and economic problems. |
