New or revised Using Statistics case scenarios in seven chapters of the 9th Edition, Global Edition. These business scenarios begin each chapter, showing how statistics is used in accounting, finance, information systems, management, or marketing. Scenarios are then used throughout the chapter to provide an applied context for the concepts, to bring students from knowing to applying. New Tableau Guides in each chapter explain how to use the data visualisation software Tableau Public as a complement to Microsoft® Excel® for visualising data. The text offers Tableau Public results for selected methods in which Tableau can enhance or complement Excel results. A new Business Analytics chapter (Chapter 17) provides a complete introduction to the field of business analytics. The chapter defines terms and categories that introductory business statistics students may encounter in other courses or outside the classroom. Includes a new Consider This feature, “What’s My Major If I Want to Be a Data Miner?” Exercises have been reviewed, updated, and replaced in this edition. Tabular summaries now guide readers to reaching conclusions and making decisions based on statistical information. Found in Chapters 10 through 13, this change not only adds clarity to the purpose of the statistical method being discussed but better illustrates the role of statistics in business decision-making processes.
