Summary

Intended for undergraduate and MBA Business statistics courses and newer hybrid courses integrating statistics and quantitative methods. In response to the growing market trend in quantitative education, Albright, Winston, and Zappe's integrated business-statistics and management-science text presents core statistics and management-science methods in a modern, unified spreadsheet-oriented approach. With a focus on applications, not on mathematical techniques, the book covers business statistics with some essential management-science topics included. The example-based, Excel spreadsheet approach is useful in courses that combine traditional statistics and management-science topics, though it can be easily used for a one-term business statistics only course. The modeling and application focus, together with the Excel spreadsheet add-ins, provides a complete learning source for both students and practicing managers.
