Business Statistics : For Contemporary Decision Making, 10/e (AE-Paperback)
暫譯: 商業統計：當代決策的應用，第10版 (AE-平裝本)

本書序言

In this edition, the chapter organization is unchanged. As the chapter organization of the text allows for both one- and two-semester coverage, the first 12 chapters include the typical chapters covered in a one-semester course; and the last 7 chapters offer extended coverage, allowing students to explore such topics as multiple regression, logistic regression, forecasting, analysis of categorical data, nonparametric statistics, statistical quality control, and decision analysis. The titles of two of the chapters have changed to highlight the new emphasis on business analytics. In particular, the Chapter 1 title has changed from "Introduction to Statistics" to "Introduction to Statistics and Business Analytics." The Chapter 2 title has changed from "Charts and Graphs" to "Visualizing the Data with Charts and Graphs."
