Probability and Statistics for Modern Engineering

Designed to make it easier for prospective engineers to assimilate probability and statistics, this highly regarded text will help them discover how these subjects are relevant to their interests and immediate needs because it has been "engineered" especially for them. At the same time, the text provides readers with the familiar feel common to texts on engineering subjects, helping to make a coursework on probability and statistics a more pleasant and meaningful learning experience. Important features include: all examples and problems are written with the prospective engineer in mind; wherever possible, real data are used in examples, problems and illustrations; the second edition thoroughly integrates the computer, and many examples are illustrated with printouts using SPSS, SAS and other software.
