The text is not written for those students who will become statisticians; it is written for future decision makers in business. The focus and goal is to make students better quantitative decision makers.

The concepts of statistics are presented in the setting of business decision making through the use of many real world examples, real business data and applications.

Student Study Guide:  Designed to be used alongside the text book, this invaluable step-by-step study guide walks students through the text as they read it and work problems while supporting the decision making approach.
