Product Description

Product Description

The fourth edition of Statistics for Economics, Accounting and Business Studies presents an exceptionally clear and concise introduction to a range of statistical concepts and techniques. Using actual data to illustrate the theory, this student-friendly book shows how real-life problems can be solved using statistical techniques and refreshingly explains why they are used. Throughout the text key issues are highlighted and many common statistical traps and mistakes are revealed and explained.

This is a core text for introductory courses in statistics at undergraduate and MBA level. The user friendly text is particularly suitable for economics and accounting students and will also appeal to business studies students. It requires no prior knowledge of the subject and provides students with numerous real-life examples, problems and applications.


From the Back Cover

'An excellent reference book for the undergraduate student; filled with examples and applications - both practical (i.e. computer based) and traditional (i.e. pen and paper problems); wide-ranging and sensibly ordered. The book is clearly written, easy to follow ... yet not in the least patronising. This is a particular strength.

Christopher Gerry, UCL

3.0 out of 5 stars Errors in Chapter 5..., 1 Jun 2007
By D.Watts. (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Be careful, as Barrow has made some errors in some of the formulae in Chapter 5, so check with other sources / course leaders. This left me very confused as to why I was getting every exercise wrong.

There are a few other minor errors but for the most part the book is easy to follow, a good choice for statistics modules and worth the money.

(REAL NAME)   
This is a great text book for statistics. You will lear a lot and with ease with this textbook. It would have been nicer if the book included more worked examples.
