Abranovic was inspired by his own students' positive reactions to create a textbook that succeeds by encouraging self-study, presenting new concepts in bitesize chunks, and moving the learner enjoyably toward active statistical analysis. Statistical Thinking and Data Analysis Methods for Managers includes data sets on diskettes and employs up-to-date Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) tools, such as stem-and-leaf diagrams and box plots, without Sacrificing traditional methods and intellectual rigor. Designed for introductory courses and adaptable to graduate study, the text diminishes the need for spending classroom time on computational formulas. With its strong approach and use of global examples throughout, it will appeal to those who want heavy problem use and international applications.
