Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers

This best-selling engineering statistics text provides a practical approach that is more oriented to engineering and the chemical and physical sciences than many similar texts. It's packed with unique problem sets that reflect realistic situations engineers will encounter in their working lives. Each copy of the book includes an e-Text on CD - that is a complete electronic version of book. This e-Text features enlarged figures, worked-out solutions, links to data sets for problems solved with a computer, multiple links between glossary terms and text sections for quick and easy reference, and a wealth of additional material to create a dynamic study environment for students.

This text brings statistical tools to engineers and scientists who design and develop new products, new manufacturing systems and processes and who improve existing systems. The examples and exercises are engineering-based, containing real data. Because computers are used to apply statistical methods to solve problems, output is presented from Statgraphics and SAS to illustrate what can be done with modern statistical software. Readers are shown how to master discrete and continuous random variables and probability distributions; point and interval estimation; testing hypotheses; simple and multiple linear regression; design of experiments; nonparametric statistics; and statistical quality control.
