Focus remains purely on statistics, providing a more concise text suitable for teaching on single term/semester core course modules
Suitable for students with little background in mathematics: statistical theory, unhelpful jargon, use of formulae and long mathematical manipulations are all kept to a minimum
Emphasis on practical understanding; less emphasis on heavy statistical notation and mathematical formulae
Many realworld business examples, from marketing and HRM as well as production processes
