Summary

This comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics will give you the solid grounding you need no matter what your engineering specialty. Through the use of lively and realistic examples, the author helps you go beyond simply learning about statistics--you'll also learn how to put the statistical methods to use. In addition, rather than focusing on rigorous mathematical development and potentially overwhelming derivations, PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERING AND THE SCIENCES emphasizes concepts, models, methodology, and applications that facilitate your understanding.
