Applied business statistics : methods and excel-based applications / Trevor Wegner. - Fifth edition. - Cape Town : Juta & Company, 2020. - 554 pages : illustrations, tables, charts (black and white) ; 25 cm.
The text emphasises four themes to support evidence-based management decision making:
1. Setting the statistical landscape in a management context
2. Interpretative decision making based on patterns revealed by exploratory data analyses
3. Statistical decision making guided by the test-based findings of inferential analyses
4. Predictive decision making using statistical modelling evidence. The thread that links them is the role of data analytics as a management decision-support tool.

- Highlighting newer trends in statistical applications in management practice
- Strengthening the Excel-based generation of statistical evidence using a custom-built software product, called X-Static
