This book is a modest though determined bid to serve as a text-book for B.Com.(Pass and Hons.) and B.A(Economics Hons.) Courses of Indian Universities. The main aim in writing this book is to present a clear, simple, systematic and comprehensive exposition of the principles, methods and techniques of statistics in various disciplines, with special referance to Economics and Business. The stress is on the application of techniques and methods most commonly used by statisticians. The lucidity of style and simplicity of expression have been avoided as far as possible. Wherever desirable, the notations and terminology have been explained and then all the mathematical steps have been explained in detail.
