Statistics for Business and Economics (Paperback)

Adapting authors, Jim Freeman and Eddie Shoesmith, have taken the classic
rigour and rich pedagogy of the United States text and carefully blended it
with the latest applications and technology to provide a truly complete
introduction to statistics. Students will engage seamlessly with the
material as all Case Problems, Statistics in Practice features and examples
throughout the text have been thoroughly revised using localised material,
while a new full-colour design using photographs brings the subject to
life. Hundreds of Exercises are included with the text while an
accompanying CD-Rom contains over 100 unique Data Sets to ensure students
and lecturers are provided with a complete learning package.

All classic features of the original text have been retained and include:

- The faultless and classroom-tested applications approach which has
successfully led hundreds of thousands of students through all of the key
topics step-by-step.

- Exactly the same level of coverage with every single topic, from Data and
Statistics through to Sample Surveys, given comprehensive treatment within
an application setting.

- The popular `real-world' focus delivered using Statistics in Practice and
Case Problem features combined with a host of in-text examples.

- Hundreds of Exercises throughout the text with answers split between the
back of the textbook and the Instructors Manual

- An accompanying CD-Rom allowing instant access to over 100 unique Data
Sets for self-directed study.

New and enhanced features include:

- Fully localised examples using `real-world' businesses and settings such
as Eurostat, Adidas, BMW, The British Beer & Pub Association, The Spanish
National Lottery, The Times Good University Guide, The Economist, The Irish
Times, The Royal Automobile Club, Deutsche Bank, ICM Research, The British
Crime Survey and many more!

- Fully localised terminology and notation combined with minor tweaks in
content to ensure it matches seamlessly with non-United States courses.

- Statistical analyses now use SPSS in addition to MINITAB and EXCEL to
allow wide-ranging statistical analysis.

- Boosted pedagogy with the introduction of Learning Objectives, Software
Icons and new Case Problems placed consistently throughout the text

- A brand new full-colour design using photographs to help engage students
