M31. Least squares solutions over interval restrictions

In this article, the three-parameter I.G. distribution is standardized with zero mean and unit variance. The third standard moment α₃ is employed as the shape parameter. Tables of the cumulative probability function are given as a function of the standardized variate z, and of the shape parameter, α₃. Various comparisons are made with the lognormal, Weibull, and gamma distributions.     

A Survey of the Teaching of Statistics in M.B.A. Programs

A survey of business schools was conducted to obtain information about the current state of the teaching of business statistics to students enrolled in M.B.A. degree programs. The survey was undertaken for and presented at a June 1986 conference on “Making Statistics More Effective in Schools of Business,” held at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business. Information was elicited concerning both the required statistics sequence and elective statistics courses for M.B.A. students, as well as computer usage in these courses. This article summarizes the information obtained from the survey.
