Description

For junior/senior undergraduates taking probability and statistics as it applied to engineering, science or computer science.


With its unique balance of theory and methodology, this classic text provides a rigorous introduction to basic probability theory and statistical inference that is motivated by interesting, relevant applications. Extensively updated coverage, new problem sets, and chapter-ending material extend the text’s relevance to a new generation of engineers and scientists.

Features



Ÿ Designed for a one or two semester course. A reasonable one semester course might include chapters 1-10. Flexibility exists, in terms of coverage of topics, which facilitates any one semester course based on the priorities set down by the instructor.



Ÿ Offers a balance between theory and applications — Engineers, physical scientists and computer scientists are trained in calculus and thus mathematical support is given when the authors feel as if the pedagogy is enhanced by it. This approach prohibits the material from becoming a collection of tools with no mathematical roots.



Ÿ Mathematical Level — The use of calculus is confined to elementary probability theory and probability distributions (chapters 2-7). Matrix algebra is used only a modest amount in linear regression material (chapters 11-12). Students using this text should have completed the equivalent of one semester of differential and integral calculus. An exposure to matrix algebra would be helpful but not necessary if the course context excludes the optional section in chapter 12.



Ÿ Accurate, compelling exercise sets — Use significant real data from actual studies (biomedical, bioengineering, business, computing, etc). . The exercises challenge the student to be able to use the concepts from the text to solve problems dealing with many real-life scientific and engineering situations.



Ÿ Case Studies and Computer Software — The topical material in two-sample hypothesis testing, multiple linear regression, analysis of variance, and the use of two-level factorial-experiments is supplemented by case studies that feature computer printout and graphical material. Both SAS and MINITAB are featured.



Chapter Outline:

Chapter 1: Elementary overview of statistical inference.

Chapters 2 — 4: Deal with basic probability as well as discrete and continuous random variables.

Chapters 5-6: Cover specific discrete and continuous distributions with illustrations of their use and relationships among them.

Chapter 7: Optional chapter that treats transformation of random variables.

Chapter 8: Additional materials on graphical methods as well as a very important introduction to the notion of sampling distribution

Chapters 9 — 10: Contain material on one and two sample point and interval estimation and
