Description
Highly praised for its exceptional clarity, technical accuracy, and useful examples, Weiers' INTRODUCTION TO BUSINESS STATISTICS, Seventh Edition, introduces fundamental statistical concepts with an engaging, conversational presentation and a strong emphasis on the practical relevance of course material to students' lives and careers. The text's outstanding illustrations, friendly language, non-technical terminology, and current examples involving real-world business and personal settings will capture students' interest and prepare them for success from day one. Continuing cases, contemporary business applications, and more than 300 new or revised exercises and problems reflect important trends and the latest developments in today's dynamic business environment—all with an accuracy you and your students can trust. 

Features
  • A continuing, integrated case (the Thorndike Sports Equipment Company) provides an interesting, in-depth exploration of statistics in action, helping students apply course concepts to complex, realistic business scenarios, and allowing them to develop a strong appreciation for the value of statistics in guiding key business decisions throughout all parts of an organization. 
  • Strategically placed throughout the text in areas where students often need help, 21 Java applets from Gary McClelland's award-winning Seeing Statistics series are specifically adapted to help students visualize difficult statistical concepts in action. Three to five accompanying exercises per applet are ideal for individual practice or classroom participation. 
  • MicrosoftR ExcelR and MinitabR coverage, including step-by-step instructions and detailed output, is integrated throughout the text to demonstrate how these widely used spreadsheet and statistics applications can solve key business problems. 
  • The text emphasizes modern, practical business applications of statistics, including familiarizing students with the role of statistics in total quality management and business and survey research, as well as devoting significant coverage to ethical issues in statistical analysis and reporting. 
  • Discussions of data collection and research methods early in the book clearly frame and justify the statistical methodology presented, giving students a strong understanding of these important concepts.
