Author Description

Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; Pearson MyLab Statistics does not come packaged with this content. Business Statistics: A First Course, Second Canadian Edition, recognizes both the changing curriculum and the changing pedagogy for teaching introductory statistics. It focuses on application, streamlines and reorganizes topics, sheds unneeded theoretical details, and recognizes learning styles of the current generation of students, making it an attractive choice for one-semester Business Statistics courses at Canadian universities and colleges. The Second Canadian edition uses illustrative case studies and chapter exercises that focus on business and management of Canadian companies, large and small. The writing has Canadian style, perspective, and sensibility, not just changes to spelling and metric measurements. The book recognizes that Canada has public policy, governmental structure and mandate (federal, provincial, and municipal), economic systems (banking and finance), social services, health care, sports and entertainment are different from the United States. While the book is indeed Canadian, it also shows how statistics has no geographical borders, and is a vital part of building and enhancing the global community.
