Features: Statistics is a methodology science applicable to both natural and social fields. Its research objects are specific objective entities, all possessing characteristics such as totality, quantifiability, and objectivity. Therefore, in terms of methodology, there is a certain degree of uniformity. To enhance the ability of statistics to understand objective reality, especially the regularities of uncertain phenomena, socio-economics should make every effort to apply mathematical statistics methods to solve practical problems in socio-economic phenomena. However, it should also be noted that socio-economic statistics is not purely mathematical statistics; cumbersome mathematical operations and proofs are not its main content. At the same time, due to the complexity of socio-economic phenomena, socio-economic statistics should, in addition to applying mathematical methods, develop its own unique analytical methods. This book is a teaching text for statistics in economics and management disciplines, emphasizing a solid foundation and practical application. In the writing process, the content focuses on the scientificity, systematicity, and practicality of professional theoretical knowledge, emphasizing the connection between theory and practice while paying attention to cultivating students' practical skills. It strives to reflect the new knowledge and characteristics of the statistical discipline in the current information age, using new examples to illustrate the application scenarios and conditions of relevant theories and methods. The writing style aims for precise concepts, clear organization, emphasis on key points, conciseness, simplicity, and accessibility.
