Business Statistics: For Contemporary Decision Making, 5th Edition


Description: Black makes the concepts of statistics much easier to understand by presenting them in the setting of business decision-making. This includes the use of real world examples, real business data and applications. The fifth edition has also been substantially revised and reorganized in order to group similar approaches, topics, and techniques more closely together. Each chapter offers a brief discussion about how the material fits into the larger scheme.
