This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate and associate degree programs in finance and economics at universities and colleges, as well as for MBA students in economics and management. It can also be used as a supplementary reading material for students in sociology, demography, law, and archival science to study statistics. Additionally, it can serve as a reference book for statistical workers and economic and management personnel.
