Items related to Probability and Statistics
Designed as an introductory-level text, this accessible book provides a clear explanation of the fundamental principles of probability and statistics. In doing so, it uses only the minimum amount of mathematics that is necessary, so that concepts can be understood with ease.
The computation of probability is presented in a clear and concise manner with the help of the concepts of probability distribution and integral calculus. A large number of solved examples are used to illustrate the principles. Graphical illustrations are also provided in many of these solved examples. These are augmented with exercises at the end of each section to gauge the understanding of the subject.
The book is intended to serve as a text for undergraduate students of engineering, mathematics and statistics, as well as postgraduate students of computer applications. It would also be useful for students from other disciplines who wish to acquire a basic understanding of probability and statistics.
