FUNDAMENTALS OF PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERS

Аннотация

This book was written for an introductory one-semester or t wo -quarter course in probability and statistics for students in engineering and applied sciences. No previous knowledge of probability or statistics is presumed but a good understanding of calculus is a prerequisite for the material. The development of this book was guided by a number of considerations observed over many years of teaching courses in this subject area. This book is concerned with the development of basic principles in constructing probability models and the subsequent an alysis of these models. As in other scientific modeling procedures, the basic cycle of this undertaking consists of a number of fundamental steps.
