Statistics for Business and Economics: Methods and Applications
I think Mansfield writes the most understandable textbooks available anywhere. This particular title was used in the MBA program at UF, and I have used it as a valuable desk reference ever since. I’ve also bought several copies through amazon (love the buy-it-used feature) and given them away to colleagues.

An excellent review of the basic foundations of statistics with business applications. Does not contain the reams of computer output common in other texts. Nice real world examples. An intuitive approach with only moderate reliance on formulae. Good for classroom use or as a reference book for the business professional.
Rating: 4 / 5
An excellent survey of statistics. Prepares a student well for more specialized courses. Includes plenty of examples from economics, business and operations research. The textbook is also a great resource for the professional who needs to understand and apply statistics beyond an elementary level.
