520 _aFor a one- or two-term course in Business Statistics at the undergraduate or graduate level. This comprehensive 19-chapter business statistics text provides sufficient breadth of coverage and an applied approach which focuses on concepts and applications of statistics to the functional areas of business-accounting, marketing, management, and economics and finance.
