To my wonderful family: Barb, Hannah, and Isaac Samuel A Wathen A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Over the years, we received many compliments on this text and understand that it’s a favorite among students We accept that as the highest compliment and continue to work very hard to maintain that status The objective of Basic Statistics for Business and Economics is to provide students majoring in management, marketing, finance, accounting, economics, and other fields of business administration with an introductory survey of descriptive and inferential statistics To illustrate the application of statistics, we use many examples and e xercises that focus on business applications, but also relate to the current world of the college student A previous course in statistics is not necessary, and the mathematical requirement is first-year algebra In this text, we show beginning students every step needed to be successful in a basic statistics course This step-by-step approach enhances performance, accelerates preparedness, and significantly improves motivation Understanding the concepts, seeing and doing plenty of examples and exercises, and comprehending the application of statistical methods in business and economics are the focus of this book The first edition of this text was published in 1967 At that time, locating relevant business data was difficult That has changed! Today, locating data is not a problem The number of items you purchase at the grocery store is automatically recorded at the checkout counter Phone companies track the time of our calls, the length of calls, and the identity of the person called Credit card companies maintain information on the number, time and date, and amount of our purchases Medical devices automatically monitor our heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature from remote locations A large amount of business information is recorded and reported almost instantly CNN, USA Today, and MSNBC, for example, all have websites that track stock prices in real time Today, the practice of data analytics is widely applied to “big data.” The practice of data analytics requires skills and knowledge in several areas Computer skills are needed to process large volumes of information Analytical skills are needed to evaluate, summarize, organize, and analyze the information Critical thinking skills are needed to interpret and communicate the results of processing the information Our text supports the development of basic data analytical skills In this edition, we added a new section at the end of each chapter called Data Analytics As you work through the text, this section provides the instructor and student with opportunities to apply statistical knowledge and statistical software to explore several business environments Interpretation of the analytical results is an integral part of these exercises A variety of statistical software is available to complement our text Microsoft Excel includes an add-in with many statistical analyses MegaStat is an add-in available for Microsoft Excel Minitab and JMP are stand-alone statistical software available to download for either PC or Mac computers In our text, Microsoft Excel, Minitab, and MegaStat are used to illustrate statistical software analyses When a software application is presented, the software commands for the application are available in Appendix C We use screen captures within the chapters, so the student becomes familiar with the nature of the software output Because of the availability of computers and software, it is no longer necessary to dwell on calculations We have replaced many of the calculation examples with interpretative ones, to assist the student in understanding and interpreting the statistical results In addition, we place more emphasis on the conceptual nature of the statistical topics While making these changes, we still continue to present, as best we can, the key concepts, along with supporting interesting and relevant examples vi WHAT’S NEW IN THE NINTH EDITION? We have made many changes to examples and exercises throughout the text The section on “Enhancements” to our text details them There are two major changes to the text First, the chapters have been reorganized so that each section corresponds to a learning objective The learning objectives have been revised The second major change responds to user interest in the area of data analytics Our approach is to provide instructors and students with the opportunity to combine statistical knowledge, computer and statistical software skills, and interpretative and critical thinking skills A set of new and revised exercises is included at the end of each chapter in a section titled “Data Analytics.” In these sections, exercises refer to three data sets The North Valley Real Estate sales data set lists 105 homes currently on the market The Lincolnville School District bus data list information on 80 buses in the school district’s bus fleet The authors designed these data so that students will be able to use statistical software to explore the data and find realistic relationships in the variables The Baseball Statistics for the 2016 season is updated from the previous edition The intent of the exercises is to provide the basis of a continuing case analysis We suggest that instructors select one of the data sets and assign the corresponding exercises as each chapter is completed Instructor feedback regarding student performance is important Students should retain a copy of each chapter’s results and interpretations to develop a portfolio of discoveries and findings These will be helpful as students progress through the course and use new statistical techniques to further explore the data The ideal ending for these continuing data analytics exercises is a comprehensive report based on the analytical findings We know that working with a statistics class to develop a very basic competence in data analytics is challenging Instructors will be teaching statistics In addition, instructors will be faced with choosing statistical software and supporting students in developing or enhancing their computer skills Finally, instructors will need to assess student performance based on assignments that include both statistical and written components Using a mentoring approach may be helpful We hope that you and your students find this new feature interesting and engaging vii H OW A R E C H A P TE RS O RGA N I Z E D TO E N GAG E STU D E NTS A N D PRO M OTE LE A R N I N G? Chapter Learning Objectives ©goodluz/Shutterstock MERRILL LYNCH recently completed a study of online investment portfolios for a sample Each chapter begins with a set of learning objectives designed to provide focus for the chapter and motivate student learning These objectives, located in the margins next to the topic, indicate what the student should be able to after completing each section in the chapter of clients For the 70 participants in the study, organize these data into a frequency distribution (See Exercise 43 and LO2-3.) LEARNING OBJECTIVES When you have completed this chapter, you will be able to: LO2-1 Summarize qualitative variables with frequency and relative frequency tables LO2-2 Display a frequency table using a bar or pie chart LO2-3 Summarize quantitative variables with frequency and relative frequency distributions LO2-4 Display a frequency distribution using a histogram or frequency polygon DESCRIBING DATA: FREQUENCY TABLES, FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, AND GRAPHIC PRESENTATION Chapter Opening Exercise A representative exercise opens LO2-3 the chapter and shows how the chapter CONSTRUCTING FREQUENCY 20 CHAPTER quantitative content can be applied to aSummarize real-world situation variables with frequency and relative frequency distributions Introduction to the Topic Each chapter starts with a review of the important concepts of theLin87500_ch02_019-052.indd previous chapter and provides a link to the material in the current chapter This step-by-step approach increases comprehension by providing continuity across the concepts Example/Solution After important concepts are introduced, a solved example is given This example provides a how-to illustration and shows a relevant business application that helps students answer the question, “How can I apply this concept?” 27 DISTRIBUTIONS In Chapter and earlier in this chapter, we distinguished between qualitative and quantitative data In the previous section, using the Applewood Automotive Group data, we summarized two qualitative variables: the location of the sale and the type of vehicle sold We created INTRODUCTION frequency and relative frequency tables and depicted the results in bar and pie charts The United States automobile retailing industry is highly competitive It is dominated by The Applewood Auto Groupthat data several quantitative variables: megadealerships ownalso andinclude operate 50 or more franchises, employ overthe 10,000 age of the buyer,people, the profit the sale the vehicle, number of dealerships previand earned generateon several billionof dollars in annual and sales.the Many of the top are wants publiclyto owned, with shares on sales the New Stock Exchange ous purchases Suppose Ms Ball summarize last traded month’s byYork profit earned or NASDAQ In 2017, the largest megadealership for each vehicle We can describe profit using a frequency distribution was AutoNation (ticker symbol AN), followed by Penske Auto Group (PAG), Group Automotive, 7/28/17 Inc (ticker symbol GPI), and the privately owned Van Tuyl Group These large corporations use statistics and analytics to summarize FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION A grouping of quantitative data into mutually exclusive and analyze datathe andnumber information to support their As an exand collectively exhaustive classes showing of observations indecisions each class ample, we will look at the Applewood Auto Group It owns four dealerships and sells a wide range of vehicles These include the popular Korean brands Kia and Hyundai, BMW and Volvo sedans and luxury How we develop a frequency distribution?
