Appropriate for one or two term courses in introductory Business Statistics.
With Statistics for Management, Levin and Rubin have provided a non-intimidating business statistics textbook
that students can easily read and understand. Like its predecessors, the Seventh Edition includes the absolute
minimum of mathematical/statistical notation necessary to teach the material. Concepts are fully explained in simple,
easy-to-understand language as they are presented, making the text an excellent source from which to learn and
teach. After each discussion, readers are guided through real-world examples to show how textbook principles work
in professional practice.
