ESSENTIALS OF EXCEL EXCEL VBA SAS AND MINITAB F...

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.
