Written by Mark L. Berenson, David M. Levine

This is a comprehensive 19 chapter text that provides sufficient breadth of coverage for a one- or two-term course in business statistics at the undergraduate or graduate level. The authors take an applied approach which focuses on concepts and applications of statistics to the functional areas of business - accounting, marketing, management, and economics and finance. The seventh edition has been thoroughly revised to make this book less of a 'statistical methods' text and to increase the emphasis on concepts. This edition emphasizes the proper use of statistics to analyze data and assumes that computer software is an integral part of this analysis. *Thoroughly rewritten to be more interpretational and less computational. *The exercise sets have been completely retooled. Using real data whenever possible, the exercise sets are divided into 'Learning the Basics' and 'Applying the Concepts' categories. *Excel Add-ins (PH Stat) are provided free on the CD-ROM packaged with this text. These add-ins allow the user to do statistical analysis on many procedures not included in standard Microsoft Excel.
