Third Edition
By
Sheldon Ross, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA
Description
This updated text provides a superior introduction to applied probability and statistics for engineering or science majors. Ross emphasizes
the manner in which probability yields insight into statistical problems; ultimately resulting in an intuitive understanding of the statistical
procedures most often used by practicing engineers and scientists. Real data sets are incorporated in a wide variety of exercises and
examples throughout the book, and this emphasis on data motivates the probability coverage.
As with the previous editions, Ross'
text has tremendously clear exposition, plus real-data examples and exercises throughout the text. Numerous exercises, examples, and
applications apply probability theory to everyday statistical problems and situations.
Audience
This text is written for the introductory non-calculus based statistics course offered in mathematics and/or statistics departments for
undergraduate students of any major who take a semester course in basic Statistics or a year course in Probability and Statistics.
