This introductory textbook for business statistics teaches statistical analysis and research
methods via business case studies and financial data using Excel, MINITAB, and SAS. Every
chapter in this textbook engages the reader with data of individual stock, stock indices,
options, and futures.

One studies and uses statistics to learn how to study, analyze, and understand a data
set of particular interest.Some of the more popular statistical programs that have been
developed to use statistical and computational methods to analyze data sets are SAS,
SPSS, and MINITAB.

Of those, we look at MINITAB and SAS in this textbook.One of the main reasons to use
MINITAB is that it is the easiest to use among the popular statistical programs.We look
at SAS because it is the leading statistical package used in industry.We also utilize the
much less costly and ubiquitous Microsoft Excel to do statistical analysis, as the benefits of
Excel have become widely recognized in the academic world and its analytical capabilities
extend to about 90 percent of statistical analysis done in the business world.We
demonstrate much of our statistical analysis using Excel and double check the analysis
and outcomes using MINITAB and SAS also helpful in some analytical methods not
possible or practical to do in Excel.
