EXCERPT: PREFACE-The fourth edition of Statistics for Business and Economics finds the application of statistics to business and economic problems in the midst of a number of significant changes. The availability of microcomputers with a wide range of statistical software has dramatically affected the amount of time we spend teaching computational formulas. The use of statistical quality control in American industry is perhaps the fastest-growing application of statistics in any area. The same corporate structure which nearly 40 years ago forced W. Edwards Deming to take his revolutionary ideas to Japan has welcomed him back as a conquering hero. Deming and his disciples are in constant demand in both academic and corporate circles, and the impact of their philosophy on the statistical education of business students is and will be profound. Academic professional organizations are paying increased attention to the content of business statistics courses and to the philosophy and manner in which they are taught. In light of these and other developments, we have decided that the time has come to acknowledge that the text we wrote 10 years ago is not the same one we would write today. For example, 10 years ago the calculator had taken the "arithmetic" out of analysis of variance, but not the formulas. The computer gives us an additional option: We can use precious time teaching the interpretation of ANOVA results rather than cookbook formulas that produce those results. This fourth edition exercises that option (and many others like it). Before detailing the specifics of the fourth edition, we stress that the underlying philosophy of the text is unchanged, despite the many new features and additional options. Our original intent was to write a text for the students that stressed inference making. If anything, the rapid evolution of "business statistics" is making that easier to accomplish...
