Features: This textbook is designed for the cognitive abilities and learning characteristics of undergraduate students in economics and management majors. The framework design and content arrangement of the textbook include the following attempts and innovations: First, guided by the concept of "big statistics," descriptive statistics and inferential statistics are organically combined, while commonly used statistical indicators in national economic accounting are introduced in a practical manner, making the textbook system more complete. Second, emphasis is placed on the organic combination of theory and practice. The theoretical introduction is concise and easy to understand, with a focus on simplifying the complex and extracting the essential. The accompanying exercise book and CD-ROM strengthen students' post-class practice and consolidate their knowledge. The introduction of Excel statistical software adds hands-on operations, freeing students from tedious numerical calculations while cultivating and enhancing their data processing skills. Third, both form and content are given equal importance, achieving an organic combination of knowledge, thoughtfulness, and interest. Learning from the layout styles of excellent domestic and international textbooks, the presentation style is lively and engaging. The "Related Links" and "Case Application" sections broaden students' horizons and increase the amount of information. The "Think Further" and "Test Yourself" sections guide students to engage in active thinking and self-assessment during reading breaks, transforming "reading" into "enjoyable reading," and elevating the into a pleasant and enjoyable experience.
