Ever since Edwin Mansfield pioneered the popular theory-and-application approach with the First Edition of Microeconomics, the text has been a perennial leader in the intermediate microeconomics course field. Starting with the Tenth Edition and continuing with the Eleventh, co-author Gary Yohe has thoroughly revised the text while retaining its traditional strengths. Discussions remain accurate and clear, making use of engaging examples that draw on real-world applications to motivate the presentation of theory. This revitalized classic promises to continue to please instructors and their students.

This book was written for first courses in statistics for undergraduate and graduate students in business administration, public administration, and economics. As in previous editions, three principal objectives guided the writings of this book: first, to explain statistical methods used in business and by economists in the clearest possible way; second, to draw case material from real-world situations in order to demonstrate the practical applications of those methods; third, to surround both theory and cases with an abundance of problems, based on real data whenever possible and graded in level of difficulty.
