N2  - "As the name implies, the objective of Statistical Techniques in Business and Economics is to provide students majoring in economics, finance, marketing, accounting, management, and other fields of business administration, with an introductory survey of the many business applications of descriptive and inferential statistics. While we have focused on business applications, we have also attempted to use examples and problems that are student oriented and that do not require previous business courses." —Preface
