Business Statistics, 3rd Edition

What you’ll find inside

Business Statistics, 3rd Edition by Robert A. Donnelly, Jr. is a course text for readers learning to summarize data, work with probability and draw conclusions from business information. Its sequence moves from describing a dataset toward statistical inference and modelling, so students can connect each method with the kinds of questions managers and analysts need to answer. The supplied PDF is identified as the third edition; its file record also credits Serina Al Haddad and Stefan Ruediger for special contributions.

Build from data summaries to statistical decisions

The contents begin with displaying and calculating descriptive statistics, then introduce probability, discrete and continuous distributions, sampling distributions and confidence intervals. Later chapters address hypothesis tests for one or two populations, analysis of variance, chi-square tests, population variance, correlation and simple or multiple regression. Forecasting follows the regression material, giving readers a route from data description to interpretation and prediction. This structure makes the book relevant to introductory business statistics, operations or analytics coursework where both calculation and explanation matter.
