One of the most popular introductory texts in its field, Statistics for Technology: A Course in Applied Studies presents the range of statistical methods commonly used in science, social science, and engineering.
The mathematics are simple and straightforward; statistical concepts are explained carefully; and real-life (rather than contrived) examples are used throughout the chapters.
Divided into three parts, the Introduction describes some simple methods of summarizing data. Theory examines the basic concepts and theory of statistics. Applications covers the planning and procedures of experiments, quality control, and life testing.
Revised throughout, this Third Edition places a higher priority on the role of computers in analysis, and many new references have been incorporated. A new appendix describes general methods of tackling statistical problems, including guidance on literature searching and report writing.

SYNOPSIS: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the statistical methods increasingly needed in Applied Science and Engineering. The mathematics is kept as simple as possible, the basic concepts of statistics carefully explained, and a particular feature is the use of real-life rather than artificial examples. The text is in three parts. The first part introduces simple ways of analysing data. The second examines the basic concepts and theory of statistics, including probability, distributions, estimation, significance tests, regression and correlation. The third part deals with applications in the design and analysis of experiments, quality control and life-testing. The second edition contains a new Appendix extending the important topics of summarizing and presenting data and including a section on how to round numbers. There is also a section on estimating and testing a proportion. The further reading given in Appendix C has been completely updated. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 003164
