Abstract:

Business statistics is one of several courses students in business schools are required to take. Despite its applications in the different disciplines, the number of business statistics courses offered is minimal. This seems to hinder many students from appreciating the role of statistics in the different courses and in the real world. Furthermore, adequate resources need to be provided to improve the quantitative competency of the students.
