This essentials version features selected core topics from the author's popular Statistics for Business and Economics, 6th, condensed into 13 chapters. It includes many of the highlights of its parent, including the problem-scenario approach using real-world examples to introduce statistical techniques; chapter-opening Statistics in Practice applications from the business world; and Notes & Comments sections that provide additional insights on statistical methodology and how to avoid common mistakes. Methods, Applications, and Self-Test exercises include hundreds of problems based on real data. Examples and exercises throughout focus on ways that statistics contribute to improving the quality of products and services. This text can also be computer integrated at the discretion of the instructor. Output for analysis based on Minitab is included throughout the text; instruction for data analysis based on Excel and Minitab is included in appendices of appropriate chapters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Text!!, January 19, 2003
By Etrina Ewell "TrinaBaby" (Chicago, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The information in this book is clear-cut, concise, and easy to read. Easily understandable examples are given for the various statistical formulas, and extras like z-score value charts and the like help a lot. If you have a talented instructor leading your Stats class (like I did) in addition to this text, you will be sure to ace this course (like I did)!

P.S.: If you happen to be an Information Systems/Information Technology major (such as myself) DO NOT RE-SELL THIS BOOK! You will need the information in this book in your future Info Systems courses, and you will definitely realize the TRUE value of this text!

4.0 out of 5 stars A useful book. . ., February 26, 2002
. . .by authors who remember that they are writing for persons who are NOT professional mathematicians.

In today's world, frequently persons enter the business profession from a background in something other than what in the past might have been considered traditional avenues. Not all business textbooks recognize this (see my review for "Mathematical Applications")! However, this book seems to be an exception.

The material is presented in a logical format; key formulae are highlighted and set off from the rest of the text; and in-depth business examples are given in each chapter, demonstrating the particular statistical tools to be taught.

A useful and recommended volume.
