Green, Jeffrey J.; Stone, Courtenay C.; Zegeye, Abera; Charles, Thomas A. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2009
Because statistical analysis requires the ability to use mathematics, students typically are required to take one or more prerequisite math courses prior to enrolling in the business statistics course. Despite these math prerequisites, however, many students find it difficult to learn business statistics. In this study, we use an ordered probit…
