Synopses & Reviews
This example and exercise-rich exploration of both elementary probability and basic statistics places a strong emphasis on engineering and science applications, many using data collected from the author's consulting experience. In later chapters, there is an emphasis on designed experiments, especially two-level factorial design. Includes a vast, rich collection of problem sets, current coverage of two-level factorial design, curve fitting, and case studies in the first two chapters. For those who are interested in Probability and Statistics or Applied Statistics for engineering, physical science, and mathematics.
