Basic Business Statistics: Concepts and Applications
Mark L. Berenson, David M. Levine, Kathryn A. Szabat · 13th Edition · ISBN 9780321870025 · Pearson
Complete chapter-by-chapter study guide aligned with Basic Business Statistics: Concepts and Applications (13th Edition). Includes summaries, learning objectives, and exam-style practice questions for all 17 chapters.
Overview
Berenson's Basic Business Statistics: Concepts and Applications (13th Edition) is a widely assigned text for business statistics, teaching statistical thinking through business-focused examples and applications. It starts with defining and collecting data, organizing and visualizing variables, and numerical descriptive measures, then builds through basic probability, discrete and continuous probability distributions including the normal distribution, and sampling distributions. The inferential half covers confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, analysis of variance, chi-square and nonparametric tests, simple and multiple regression, model building, time-series forecasting, and statistical applications in quality management. This study guide is built to match the textbook chapter for chapter, so you review in the same order your professor teaches and can practice the calculations and interpretations that show up on business stats exams. It is an independent, aligned study guide — not the textbook and not a copy of it — focused on the key concepts, formulas, and applied reasoning so you can review high-yield material efficiently for midterms and finals.
Aligned with undergraduate business statistics courses, with practice that mirrors the descriptive measures, hypothesis tests, and regression problems tested on course midterms and finals.

How soon will I get it?
Instantly. A download link appears on screen and lands in your inbox the moment your payment clears.
Does this match the 13th Edition?
Yes. It follows the 13th Edition (ISBN 9780321870025) chapter by chapter. A separate guide covers the 14th Edition, so confirm your edition.
How is this different from a general statistics course?
The methods are similar, but the examples and applications are framed around business decisions, and the guide reflects that business-context emphasis.
Does it cover regression and forecasting?
Yes. Simple and multiple regression, model building, and time-series forecasting are all included, since they are central to business stats exams.
Will it match my edition?
This guide is built around the 13th Edition. If your class uses a different edition, chapter numbering may shift slightly, but the topics and learning objectives are usually unchanged.
Do I still need the textbook?
The study guide is a companion, not a replacement — it helps you study efficiently and review fast, but you'll still want the textbook for full depth and any assigned readings. You can buy new, rent, or find a used copy through the price links on this page.
