Business Statistics in Practice

Business statistics is the science of good decision making in the face of uncertainty and is used in many disciplines such as:
- financial analysis,
- econometrics,
- auditing,
- production, and
- operations (including services improvement and marketing research).

These sources feature regular repetitive publication of series of data, which provides knowledge and skills to interpret and use statistical techniques in a variety of business applications.

A typical business statistics course is intended for business majors, and covers:
- statistical study,
- descriptive statistics (collection, description, analysis, and summary of data),
- probability,
- the binomial and normal distributions,
- test of hypotheses and confidence intervals,
- linear regression, and
- correlation.

Business Statistics in Practice is a book by Bruce L. Bowerman and Richard T. O’Connell. While for the Canadian version, the authors are: Bruce Bowerman, Richard O’Connell, Julie Aitken Schermer, and James Adcock.

For teaching the first course in business statistics, the new edition of Business Statistics in Practice provides a modern, practical, and unique framework, which features case study and example - driven discussions of all basic business statistics topics.

The authors have rewritten many of the discussions too, and have explained concepts more simply from first principles, as compared to older version. The only prerequisite for this text is high school algebra.
