    Business Statistics offers readers a foundation in core statistical concepts using a perfect blend of theory and practical application. This book presents business statistics as value added tools in the process of converting data into useful information.

    The step-by-step approach used to discuss three main statistical software applications, MS Excel, Minitab, and SPSS, which are critical tools for decision making in the business world, makes this book extremely user friendly. India-centric case studies and examples demonstrate the many uses of statistics in business and economics. The underlying focus on the interpretation of results rather than computation makes this book highly relevant for students and practising managers.

    Practice quizzes and true/false questions for students, and lecture slides and solutions manual for instructors are available at http://wps.pearsoned.com/bajpai_businessstatistics_e
