What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

An excellent book and the best for our purposes (introductory statistics for business students who, on the whole, do not like 'maths')' – Geoffrey Pugh, Staffordshire, UK

'Taylor has an approach which can be adopted to teaching the essentials of business stats to a population who would prefer not to employ and engage with this type of academic challenge.' – Charles Leatherbarrow, Wolverhampton, UK
