Business Statistics has become an essential course to the business student at all levels and business managers. Students studying the business statistics are diverse due to their education background and the subjects they study at high school. Some have sufficient mathematical exposure while others have little exposure. For students to understand courses in business such as accounting, management science and administration, it is vital that they grasp the basics of business statistics. The book provides students with a framework for objective decision- making in business management. It also takes care of diverse educational background among students and moulds the group into a cohesive and consistent entity in regard to the understanding of statistics. Lastly, the book is also intended for students preparing themselves for professional examinations. This book is written with the understanding that the student might not have studied business statistics before. Thus, the development of this book shows concern about presenting statistics concepts that the student can understand, and with various examples.
