Now in its 14th edition, Statistics for Business and Economics by McClave, Benson, and Sincich places statistics in the context of contemporary business. The text places emphasis on inference, extensively covering data collection and analysis needed to evaluate the results of statistical studies and make good decisions. Students are encouraged to develop statistical thinking and to understand both the assessment of credibility and the value of data inferences.
Based on the American Statistical Association's Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education(GAISE) Project, the text emphasizes statistical literacy, fosters active learning in the classroom, discusses intuitive probability, stresses conceptual understanding over mere knowledge of procedures, and employs technology to develop this understanding and to analyze data.
