✦ Synopsis

This textbook provides a superior introduction to applied probability and statistics for engineering or science majors. The author emphasizes the manner in which probability yields insight into statistical problems; ultimately resulting in an intuitive understanding of the statistical procedures most often used by practicing engineers and scientists. Real data sets are incorporated in a wide variety of exercises and examples throughout the book, and this emphasis on data motivates the probability coverage. As with the previous editions, this text has remendously clear exposition, plus real-data examples and exercises throughout the text. Numerous exercises, examples, and applicationsapply probability theory to everyday statistical problems and situations.
