This book is a thorough Australasian adaptation of the most popular and best-selling US text, Statistics for Management and Economics (11th edition). This edition is a furtherattempt to make the basic business and economics statistics subject a more effective and enjoyable learning experience for both instructors and students at Australasian universities. It uses familiar local terminology, together with examples, exercises and cases that draw upon Australasian data.To enhance flexibility, we have also rearranged a number of chapters from the US edition. For example, we have incorporated the data collection chapter with types of data at the start of the book, additional graphical techniques such as bubble chart and heat maps in the graphical methods chapter, introduce estimation and hypothesis testing in separate chapters, present inference about population variance in another chapter and single population and two or more populations in different chapters. Furthermore, we have included a chapter on index numbers, which includes some important topics such as the construction of the Australian Consumer Price Index, as well as comparison of Laspeyres and Paasche index numbers.
