Probability & Statistics for Engineers & Scientists, MyLab Statistics Update, Books a la Carte Edition

Description

New and updated features of this title

• Revised text focuses on improved clarity and deeper understanding rather than adding extraneous new material.
• End-of-chapter material strengthens the connections between chapters.
  • “Pot Holes” comments remind students of the bigger picture and how each chapter fits into that picture. 
  • These notes also discuss limitations of specific procedures and help students avoid pitfalls in misusing statistics.
• Class projects in several chapters provide the opportunity for students to gather their own experimental data and draw inferences from that data. These projects illustrate the meaning of a concept or provide empirical understanding of important statistical results, and are suitable for either group or individual work.
• Case studies provide deeper insight into the practicality of the concepts.

Hallmark features of this title

• Mathematical support gives engineers and scientists the proper context for statistical tools and methods. 
• Mathematical level: Calculus is confined to elementary probability theory and probability distributions. Matrix algebra is used in coverage of linear regression material. Linear algebra and matrices are applied where treatment of linear regression and analysis of variance is covered. 
• Exercise sets challenge students to solve problems in real scientific and engineering situations, many with real data from studies in bioengineering, business, etc. 
• Statistical software coverage in case studies includes SAS® and MINITAB^®, with screenshots and graphics as appropriate.
• Interaction plots give examples of scientific interpretations and exercises using graphics. 

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value–this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson’s MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a CourseID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson’s MyLab & Mastering products.

For junior/senior undergraduates taking probability and statistics as applied to engineering, science, or computer science.

This classic text provides a rigorous introduction to basic probability theory and statistical inference, with a unique balance between theory and methodology. Interesting, relevant applications use real data from actual studies, showing how the concepts and methods can be used to solve problems in the field. This revision focuses on improved clarity and deeper understanding.

 

This latest edition is also available in as an enhanced Pearson eText. This exciting new version features an embedded version of StatCrunch, allowing students to analyze data sets while reading the book.

 

Also available with MyStatLab^™.

MyStatLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to engage students and improve results. Within its structured environment, students practice what they learn, test their understanding, and pursue a personalized study plan that helps them absorb course material and understand difficult concepts.
