The Introductory Business Statistics open-text resource is designed to meet the scope and sequence requirements of the one-semester statistics course for business, economics, and related majors. The text assumes some knowledge of intermediate algebra and focuses on statistics application over theory. It includes an e-textbook, algorithmic assessments powered by a test bank with over 275 unique questions, solution manuals, PowerPoint presentations, and real-time performance dashboards to view individual or class performance.
The Introductory Business Statistics resource is adapted by A. Holmes from the original text authored by B. Illowsky and S. Dean. To request access to the demo course, click here.

PowerPoint slides are intended to make lectures a little easier for you. They contain all the images from the book, organized by chapter.
Harris Learning Solutions dashboards provide a real-time visual understanding of individual student and overall class performance as they progress through the lessons and assessments. The dashboards are used by both students and professors to identify the areas of weakness, and to improve the in-class and self-study focus.
The instructor dashboard provides a real-time visual understanding of individual student and overall class performance as they progress through the course. While viewing assessment performance, the dashboard provides instructors with the average percent mark on each assignment, test, or exam.
They can also see the highest mark and average mark secured on every question. This helps to identify the specific concept that an individual student or the entire class is having difficulty understanding. Instructors can also view the individual submission from each student, question by question. In this view, they can review and override marks as needed. Instructors can also download or export individual grades assessments to a spreadsheet or synchronize the grades to the institution’s learning management system.
The student dashboard provides students with a visualization of their progress on their assessments. From their dashboard they can see their best attempts, as well as their marks on their assignments, tests, or exams. These visualizations allow students to see their performance over time, which helps them to determine their areas of strength and concepts that require more work to master.
