Probability and Statistics for Engineering, Computer and Physical Sciences

Providing a probabilistic framework and a wide cross-section on statistical techniques, this new volume provides a comprehensive presentation of fundamental probabilistic and statistical theory with a heavy emphasis on contemporary modelling and application. The text recognizes the crucial role of probability theory in relevant contemporary applications, covers operating characteristics curves, places strong emphasis on modelling and application, considers the principles of experimental design, and grounds the methods in a coherent theory that your students can understand. There is an appendix on computer software, and discussions of important probability distributions, including the binomia, normal and gamma distributions.
