This book focuses on the analysis of data using modern statistical and spreadsheet software programs. Emphasizing the correct application of statistical-inference methods to a variety of real problems in business, the book makes sense of data and teaches not only how a statistical method is applied, but why or why not. The text integrates computer use and pedagogy throughout. The authors emphasize Excel, Minitab, and JMP IN, among other programs.
* A large majority of the exercises are accompanied by output from a statistical package. Others have results from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, from the Maple symbolic processing program, or (for simulation results) from the Resampling Stats program. Many of the exercises are new and others are revised.
