Teaching Tips for
Basic Business Statistics 15th Ed.
Our Starting Point
Over a generation ago, advances in “data processing” led to new business opportunities
as first centralized and then desktop computing proliferated. The Information Age was
born. Computer science became much more than just an adjunct to a mathematics
curriculum, and whole new fields of studies, such as computer information systems,
emerged.
More recently, further advances in information technologies have combined with
data analysis techniques to create new opportunities in what is more data science than
data processing or computer science. The world of business statistics has grown larger,
bumping into other disciplines. And, in a reprise of something that occurred a generation
ago, new fields of study, this time with names such as informatics, data analytics, and
decision science, have emerged.
This time of change makes what is taught in business statistics and how it is taught all
the more critical. These new fields of study all share statistics as a foundation for further
learning. We are accustomed to thinking about change, as seeking ways to continuously
improve the teaching of business statistics have always guided our efforts. We actively
participate in Decision Sciences Institute (DSI), American Statistical Association (ASA),
and Making Statistics More Effective in Schools and Business (MSMESB) conferences.
We use the ASA’s Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction (GAISE) reports and
combine them with our experiences teaching business statistics to a diverse student body
at several large universities.
What to teach and how to teach it are particularly significant questions to ask during a
time of change. As an author team, we bring a unique collection of experiences that we
believe helps us find the proper perspective in balancing the old and the new. Our lead
author, David M. Levine, was the first educator, along with Mark L. Berenson, to create a
business statistics textbook that discussed using statistical software and incorporated
“computer output” as illustrations—just the first of many teaching and curricular
innovations in his many years of teaching business statistics. Kathryn A. Szabat has
