The text guides readers from the language of statistics, data quality, and collection through exploratory data analysis, including summary tables, graphs, descriptive measures, and distribution tools. It then builds the foundation for statistical inference with probability and sampling topics, while integrating Excel techniques for producing outputs. Online solutions, datasets, and chapter support materials strengthen learning and teaching.","Applied Business Statistics  \nMethods and Excel-based Applications  \nFourth edition  \nTREVOR WEGNER  \nApplied Business Statistics  \nMethods and Excel-based Applications  \nFirst edition 1993  \nReprinted 1995, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 Second edition 2007  \nReprinted 2007, 2008, 2010  \nThird edition 2012  \nReprinted 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 (twice) Fourth edition 2016  \nJuta and Company Ltd First Floor  \nSunclare Building  \n21 Dreyer Street Claremont 7708  \nPO Box 14373, Lansdowne, 7779, CapeTown, South Africa © 2016 Juta & Company Ltd  \nISBN 978-1-48511-193-1  \nPrinted in South Africa  \nTypeset in Photina MT Std 10 pt  \nJuta Support Material  \nTo access supplementary student and lecturer resources for this title visit the support material web page at  \n[http://jutaacademic.co.za/support-material/detail/applied-business-statistics](http://jutaacademic.co.za/support-material/detail/applied-business-statistics)  \nStudent Support  \nThis book comes with the following online resources accessible from the resource page on the Juta Academic website:  \n• Solutions Manual as a Web PDF  \n• Microsoft Excel® business-related datasets  \n• Extra chapter on Financial Calculations: Interest, Annuities and NPV with solutions  \n• Exam and study skills.  \nLecturer Support  \nLecturer resources are available to lecturers who teach courses where the book is prescribed.
