Business Statistics and Analytics

Connect for Business Statistics and Analytics helps students learn more efficiently by providing feedback and practice material when they need it, where they need it. Our assignable, gradable end-of-chapter content helps students learn to solve problems and apply the concepts in finance. Algorithmic versions allow students to practice problems as many times as they need, to ensure that they fully understand each problem.

Algorithmic problems are auto-graded exercises using different numeric values each time a problem is served up to the student. This gives students practice in working a problem several times – same question, but different numbers each time. This also deters cheating because each student in a class or lab receives a slightly different version of the problem and correct answer.

Covering the basic concepts in Math, Statistics, and Excel, Connect’s Prep Courses create a level playing field, refreshing or filling in the gaps in students' knowledge about important pre-requisite skills needed for the business statistics course. Comprised of animated tutorial modules with quiz questions instructors can assign these as homework or include for optional practice.

The power of Microsoft Excel meets the power of McGraw Hill Connect in our all-new integration of Excel in Connect. With Integrated Excel, Excel now opens seamlessly inside Connect with no need for uploading or downloading any additional files or software. Instructors choose their auto-grading solution, either grading for formula accuracy or for the solution value.

McGraw Hill’s software and programming language coverage in our Business Statistics & Analytics titles is vast, including Excel, Power BI, Tableau, Python, R, Minitab, MegaStat, and more! This includes end-of-chapter exercises and labs with assessments to help students gain practical experience applying knowledge in a variety of format.
