Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers [With Free Access to Online Student Resources]

Very comprehensive text, would be an excellent undergraduate text or postgraduate reference. Must have book for Statistics and Probability.

The third edition has been improved but has the same practical feel as earlier editions. Real data is used for most examples and having the "entire book" on a CDROM including the data sets, solution manual and supplimental material puts this text "over the top" in terms of usefulness. It is an excellent reference for the practical engineer who uses statistics only occasionally. I use this in industry and teach internal (to the company) courses using this text. The CDROM really makes it the text of choice.

The book was extremely concise and was very thorough in explaining the probability functions and other statisitic topics. I am a Masters student and I found this book dealt with the fundamentals in a perfect way. The CD that comes with the book with key solutions for the assignment questions was great. Made me learn Minitab for solutions in a very easy manner. This book is a good read and very rich in fundamentals and explanations. I wish they had more solutions for the assignments. But I loved it and got a good grade in my class. Thanks for such a great book!

I took this class during my 1st semester as an IOE student at Univ of Michigan. Back then I never had done any real applications of Stats before, so I basically chugged through the course. But now as a professional, working engineer, I realize what an awesome book this is!! It is a MUST as a reference tool for ALL engineers.. great examples as well. DON't sell this book back!!

Engineers always think Statistics as a science of dice and coins, and tend to simplify the analysis of random results with means and standard deviations. "Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers" shows how this important science can help engineers to develop and improve processes and products. The text is clear and comprehensive covering from basic probability to statistical quality control. The examples and exercises represent practical problems and interesting case studies of engineering and experimental design.
