Introduction to probability and statistics for engineers and scientists

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 remendously clear exposition, plus real-data examples and exercises throughout the text. Numerous exercises, examples, and applicationsapply probability theory to everyday statistical problems and situations.

New to the 4th Edition:
- New Chapter on Simulation, Bootstrap Statistical Methods, and Permutation Tests
- 20% New Updated problem sets and applications, that demonstrate updated applications to engineering as well as biological, physical and computer science
- New Real data examples that use significant real data from actual studies across life science, engineering, computing and business
- New End of Chapter review material that emphasizes key ideas as well as the risks associated with practical application of the material "For junior/senior undergraduates taking probability and statistics as it applies to engineering, science, or computer science, this classic text provides a rigorous introduction to basic probability theory and statistical inference that is motivated by engaging, relevant applications. It assumes knowledge of elementary calculus." "Adopters of earlier editions continue to praise the extraordinarily clear exposition and writing style. Ross emphasizes the manner in which probability yields insight into statistical problems ensuring this edition will appeal to a new generation of engineers and scientists. The enclosed CD-ROM contains easy-to-use software that automates many of the computations required for the exercises and aids students in applying probability theory to everyday statistical problems and situations."--Jacket This updated text provides a superior introduction to applied probability and statistics for engineering or science majors.
