Features: This book not only elaborates on the basic methods of statistics but also applies them to real-world economic problems, while also incorporating specific computer operations. It can be said to be a commendable work that effectively combines theoretical knowledge with practical application. During the writing process, the book strives to progress from simple to complex, in a step-by-step manner, being concise yet easy to understand. Its features are reflected in two aspects: On one hand, it emphasizes the foundational nature of theoretical knowledge, providing a relatively comprehensive explanation of the basic theories and fundamental concepts of statistics. To assess the mastery of these principles, each chapter includes exercises for students and readers. On the other hand, it highlights the tool-like and practical nature of statistical methods, avoiding excessive formula derivations, and explaining basic principles through examples while employing numerous vivid case analyses to enhance the ability of students and readers to apply statistical methods to analyze and solve real-world problems. More importantly, this book takes a unique approach by organically integrating the widely used EXCEL software analysis system with typical cases, forming a complete chapter dedicated to this topic. This allows students and readers not only to learn statistical analysis methods but also to understand how to use computer operations for data analysis, a first in current statistics textbooks in China.
