For business students ready for total immersion in multiple regression analysis, model building, analysis of variance, and categorical data analysis, this iteration offers such highlights as exploring data with statistical computer software and the TI-83 graphing calculator, "statistics in action" issues (e.g. ethics in computer technology and use), and reality-based exercises. Appends basic counting rules, statistical tables, analysis of variance formulas, and answers to selected exercises. Supplementary materials are available. Those who find this weighty text daunting may be relieved to know that a streamlined version, A First Course in Business Statistics , for single semester courses is available. McClave is at the U. of Florida. No dates are furnished for previous editions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Read Less
