About This Textbook
Introductory Business Statistics 2e aligns with the topics and objectives of the typical one-semester statistics course for business, economics, and related majors. The text provides detailed and supportive explanations and extensive step-by-step walkthroughs. The text places a significant emphasis on the development and practical application of formulas so that students have a deeper understanding of their interpretation and application of data. Problems and exercises are largely centred on business topics, though other applications are provided in order to increase relevance and showcase the critical role of statistics in a number of fields and real-world contexts.
The second edition retains the organization of the original text. Based on extensive feedback from adopters and students, the revision focuses on improving currency and relevance, particularly in examples and problems. A detailed transition guide is available for instructors.
OpenStax provides restricted resources — including an editable .docx version of the textbook — to verified instructors.
