This book is positioned as a core course textbook for non-statistics majors in economics and management. Since its release in 1994, it has been widely adopted by many college teachers and students, achieving remarkable success in contributing to teaching and giving back to society. To meet the evolving needs of statistics education, the authors revised the book every few years, publishing the second edition in 1998 and the third edition in 2002. The second edition mainly focused on adjusting the content structure; the third edition compressed the existing text while adding "chi-square tests and analysis of variance." This revision of the fourth edition, in addition to certain adjustments in content arrangement, mainly involved extensively rewriting and revising examples and exercises to better reflect real-world situations in society, economics, and business management.
