{"product_id":"statistical-thinking-in-business","title":"Statistical Thinking in Business","description":"\u003cp\u003eBusiness students need the ability to think statistically about how to deal with uncertainty and its effect on decision-making in business and management. Traditional statistics courses and textbooks tend to focus on probability, mathematical detail, and heavy computation, and thus fail to meet the needs of future managers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStatistical Thinking in Business, Second Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e responds to the growing recognition that we must change the way business statistics is taught. It shows how statistics is important in all aspects of business and equips students with the skills they need to make sensible use of data and other information. The authors take an interactive, scenario-based approach and use almost no mathematical formulas, opting to use Excel for the technical work. This allows them to focus on using statistics to aid decision-making rather than how to perform routine calculations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew in the Second Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA completely revised chapter on forecasting \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRe-arrangement of the material on data presentation with the inclusion of histograms and cumulative line plots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA more thorough discussion of the analysis of attribute data\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoverage of variable selection and model building in multiple regression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnd-of-chapter summaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore end-of-chapter problems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA variety of case studies throughout the book\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition also comes with a wealth of ancillary materials provided on downloadable resources packaged with the book.
