Features: This 9th edition is a collaborative effort by Professor Anderson and Sweeney of the University of Cincinnati and Professor Williams of Rochester Institute of Technology. Building upon the narrative style and readability of previous editions, this version has undergone substantial revisions. It includes a new chapter on "Decision Analysis," adjusts chapters on hypothesis testing, interval estimation, and sampling; adds 150 examples and exercises drawn from famous American newspapers and magazines; incorporates six cases to facilitate practical application and report writing; and revises the step-by-step computer output generation programs in the appendices for the latest versions of Minitab and Excel. Strong applicability is the greatest feature of this book. The authors' carefully designed question types—Methods, Applications, and Self-Test Questions—as well as the notes that serve as prompts, summaries, and suggestions, and the datasets stored on the accompanying CD-ROM all reflect this characteristic. This book is suitable for professors teaching MBA, undergraduate, and graduate students, as well as professionals engaged in business administration and economic analysis.
