Practical Data Analysis


Book Description

Practical Data Analysis: Case Studies in Business Statistics is a collection of 75 class tested case studies for use in introductory business statistics and general statistics. All cases are drawn from real situations in a broad range of business, economic, and social science settings and include small and large data sets for analysis by students. The philosophy behind the package is to let the cases and data drive or supplement the course. Doing so provides three important opportunities for students and instructors: useful computing experience, hands-on activity, which is more motivating than the traditional course format, and a sense of realism about the use of statistics.
