Eliminate the intimidation factor from learning statistics for business
Robert Donnelly’s Business Statistics was written in a conversational tone designed to reduce the level of anxiety that many business students experience when taking a statistics course. The 3rd Edition maintains the author’s successful and straightforward approach that explains each concept and why it’s important, directly to students. Through an abundance of comments in the margins that clarify specific topics, a variety of applications, and Your Turn practice opportunities in each chapter, students see business statistics in action -- both in the classroom and the world around them.

Bob earned an undergraduate degree in chemical engineering from the University of Delaware, after which he worked for several years as an engineer with the Diamond Shamrock Corporation in a chlorine plant. Despite success in this field, Bob felt drawn to pursue a career in education. It was his desire to teach that took him back to school to earn his MBA and PhD in Operations Research, also from the University of Delaware.

He thoroughly enjoys discussing research methods and business statistics with both his French and American students. Bob's working experience gathered prior to his teaching career has provided him with many opportunities to incorporate real-life examples into classroom learning. His students appreciate his knowledge of the business world as well as his mastery of the course subject matter. Many former students seek Bob's assistance in work-related issues that deal with his expertise. Typical student comments focus on his genuine concern for their welfare and his desire to help them succeed in reaching their goals.
