Statistics for managers using microsoft excel 5th
In our many years of teaching business statistics, we have continually searched for ways to improve the teaching of these courses. Our active participation in a series of Making Statistics More Effective in Schools and Business (MSMESB), Decision Sciences Institute (DSI), and American Statistical Association conferences as well as the reality of serving a diverse group of students at large universities have shaped our vision for teaching these courses. Over the years, our vision has come to include these key principles: 1. Students need to be shown the relevance of statistics. Students need a frame of reference when learning statistics, especially when statistics is not their major. That frame of reference for business students should be the functional areas of business that is, accounting, finance, information systems, management, and marketing. Each statistical topic needs to be presented in an applied context related to at least one of these functional areas. The focus in teaching each topic should be on its application in business, the interpretation of results, the presentation of assumptions, the evaluation of the assumptions, and the discussion of what should be done if the assumptions are violated. 2. Students need to be familiar with the software used in the business world. Integrating spreadsheet software into all aspects of an introductory statistics course allows the course to focus on interpretation of results instead of computations. Introductory business statistics courses should recognize that in business, spreadsheet software is typically available on a decision makers desktop. 3. Students need to be given sufficient guidance on using software. Textbooks should provide enough instructions so that students can effectively use the software integrated with the study of statistics, without having the software instruction dominate the course. 4. Students need ample practice in order to understand how statistics is used in business. Both classroom examples and homework exercises should involve actual or realistic data as much as possible. Students should work with data sets, both small and large, and be encouraged to look beyond the statistical analysis of data to the interpretation of results in a managerial context.
