A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The fundamental concepts and applications of probability and statistics are clearly explained in this comprehensive introductory text. After a general overview of the subject, it considers special types of random variables using several examples which illustrate their wide variety of applications. The book also examines their calculation and presents computer programs that calculate their probability distribution and other distributions. There is coverage of sampling, and among the other topics discussed are hypothesis testing; regression, both simple and linear; and problems related to life testing. Also included is a diskette of 35 programs for the IBM PC, giving exact answers or approximations where appropriate.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This updated classic provides a superior introduction to applied probability and statistics for engineering or science majors.
