Introduction to Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists, Fifth Edition is a proven text reference that provides a superior introduction to applied probability and statistics for engineering or science majors. The book lays emphasis in 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 from actual studies across life science, engineering, computing and business are incorporated in a wide variety of exercises and examples throughout the text. These examples and exercises are combined with updated problem sets and applications to connect probability theory to everyday statistical problems and situations. The book also contains end of chapter review material that highlights key ideas as well as the risks associated with practical application of the material. Furthermore, there are new additions to proofs in the estimation section as well as new coverage of Pareto and lognormal distributions, prediction intervals, use of dummy variables in multiple regression models, and testing equality of multiple population distributions. This text is intended for upper level undergraduate and graduate students taking a course in probability and statistics for science or engineering, and for scientists, engineers, and other professionals seeking a reference of foundational content and application to these fields.

La legatura di questo volume è pessima. Chiaramente si tratta di un problema causato da scarsa professionalità dell'editore e non è un difetto di questo specifico volume. Usare colla per tenere le pagine di un libro del genere è ovviamente una scemenza.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for introductory students!!
Reviewed in the United States on 2 June 2016

This textbook is by far the worst textbook I ever used in college. The text is almost entirely just words in paragraphs rather than examples with guided headings. There are no solutions to any of the homework problems. And some of the homework problems make you refer to data sets from previous chapters. Trying to learn from this book is not possible.

Also I rented this book and I sent it back a week before it was due, it was sent back to me two weeks later and I was charged a late fee.

1.0 out of 5 stars Cropped out information from book!

The screen shots of examples and formulas from the book are cropped really lazily and have portions clearly cut out of the image. Makes them useless.
