Make efficient use of your time with my guided instruction in this Business Statistics course. I will help you with:
- Timely review materials aimed directly at the concepts of each exam.
- Office hours and individualized video tutorials.
- Detailed support with Excel functions.
- A proprietary Excel workbook to help in your data analysis.
- Feedback on what you are doing correctly or incorrectly.
- Suggestions on how you might use the concepts in your daily life.
This online statistics course familiarizes students with the basic concepts of business statistics and provides a comprehensive overview of its scope and limitations. Students become familiar with statistical analysis of samples, compute the measures of location and dispersion, and interpret them for descriptive statistics. Similar to other online college statistics courses, lessons demonstrate linear regression, multiple regression, correlation analysis, model building, model diagnosis, and time series regression using various models. The course also describes basic concepts of probability and applies the discrete and continuous distributions of probability. Other topics in this online statistics course include constructing a hypothesis on one and two samples, performing one-way and two-way analysis of variance, applying nonparametric methods of statistical analysis, and making decisions under risk or uncertainty. If you've been considering an online college statistics course, this is the one.

Dan Gryboski has been teaching math and statistics online and in the classroom since 2002. Throughout his teaching career, Dan has been recognized as a teacher who meets the students’ different learning needs. In his very first year of teaching, he was selected as the Master Teacher out of 250 other faculty members. He was nominated by his students specifically for his ability to help students apply mathematical concepts in their daily lives.
Dan made 600 tutorial videos for McGraw-Hill publishers and most recently created over 300 tutorial videos for StraighterLine. He continues making videos, as he routinely responds to students’ questions by creating tutorials that answer their specific questions.
Dan earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics and Computer Science from Colorado College. He earned his Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado, Boulder. Before entering the teaching profession, he worked as an engineer modeling the passenger capacities of automated transportation systems. He was invited to present his paper, “Using a Simple Linear Regression Model to Predict the Outcome of Collegiate Football Game,” at the Hawaii International Conference on Statistics in 2004. He has presented at numerous local educational forums promoting the use of real applications in teaching mathematics and, thereby, self-reliance.
Dan enjoys spending time outside with his wife and three children, as well as riding his mountain bike and golfing.

Lind/Marchal/Wathen: BASIC STATISTICS FOR BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, Seventh edition is a derivative of the best-selling STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES IN BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS, offering the essential topics of statistical tools and methods delivered in a student friendly, step-by-step format. The text is non-threatening and presents concepts clearly and succinctly with a conversational writing style. All statistical concepts are illustrated with solved applied examples immediately upon introduction. Modern computing tools and applications are introduced, but the text maintains a focus on presenting statistics content as opposed to technology or programming methods, and the seventh edition continues as a student's text with increased emphasis on interpretation of data and results.
