Introductory Business Statistics

The book Introductory Business Statistics by Thomas K. Tiemann explores the basic ideas behind statistics, such as populations, samples, the difference between data and information and most importantly sampling distributions. The author covers topics including descriptive statistics and frequency distributions, normal and t-distributions, hypothesis testing, t-tests, f-tests, analysis of variance, non-parametric tests and regression basics. Using real-world examples throughout the text, the author hopes to help students understand how statistics works, not just how to “get the right number.”
