Statistics Business Economics

By Edwin Mansfield

Book Overview

As in previous editions, three principal objectives guided the writings of this book: first, to explain statistical methods used in business and by economists in the clearest possible way; second, to draw case material from real-world situations in order to demonstrate the practical applications of those methods; third, to surround both theory and cases with an abundance of problems, based on real data whenever possible and graded in level of difficulty.

Customer Reviews

An intuitive approach with good real world examples.

An excellent review of the basic foundations of statistics with business applications. Does not contain the reams of computer output common in other texts. Nice real world examples. An intuitive approach with only moderate reliance on formulae. Good for classroom use or as a reference book for the business professional.

Excellent book for use in and out of the classroom.

An excellent survey of statistics. Prepares a student well for more specialized courses. Includes plenty of examples from economics, business and operations research. The textbook is also a great resource for the professional who needs to understand and apply statistics beyond an elementary level.
