Richard N. Landers has written an excellent text. Put simply, A Step-by-Step Guide to Statistics for Business needs to be core reading for all students undertaking statistics as part of a Business or Management programme. Landers writes in an accessible and easy-to-follow style, which leads the reader from basic numeracy to inferential statistics. -- David Gilding
