Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences

This text emphasizes models, methodology, and applications rather than rigorous mathematical development and theory. It uses real data in both exercise sets and examples. New to this edition are the following: real data sets are updated and strengthened; coverage of computer-based methods has increased, especially in analysis of variance and regression; a section on multiple regression has been rewritten; data analysis coverage has been increased in Chapter One; the section on probability has been modernized and expanded; and the chapter on quality control has been updated.
