Market_Desc: · Advanced Undergraduate Students in Engineering or Management About The Book: This book retains the pedagogical strengths that made the previous editions so popular, including the use of real data in the examples. Topics included in this book are nonparametric statistics, p-values in hypothetical testing, residual analysis, quality control and experiment design.

* End-of-chapter summaries reinforce the main topics and goals of the chapter.

PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS, 4E, International Edition continues the approach that has made previous editions successful. As a teacher and researcher at a premier engineering school, author Tony Hayter is in touch with engineers daily—and understands their vocabulary. The result of this familiarity with the professional community is a clear and readable writing style that readers understand and appreciate, as well as high-interest, relevant examples and data sets that hold readers' attention. A flexible approach to the use of computer tools includes tips for using various software packages as well as computer output (using MINITAB and other programs) that offers practice in interpreting output. Extensive use of examples and data sets illustrates the importance of statistical data collection and analysis for students in a variety of engineering areas as well as for students in physics, chemistry, computing, biology, management, and mathematics.

Market_Desc: Engineers and Students and Instructors of Engineering. Special Features: · Problems, examples, and exercises have all been thoroughly updated to reflect today's engineering realities.· Examples and exercises are drawn from more diverse fields such as bioengineering, environmental sciences, and computer science.· Interactive e-Text format includes data sets, select worked-out solutions, enlarged figures, and multiple links between glossary terms and text sections for quick and easy reference. About The Book: This best-selling engineering statistics text provides a practical approach that is more oriented to engineering and the chemical and physical sciences than many similar texts. It's packed with unique problem sets that reflect realistic situations engineers encounter in their working lives.

This well-respected text is designed for the first course in probability and statistics taken by students majoring in Engineering and the Computing Sciences. The prerequisite is one year of calculus. The text offers a balanced presentation of applications and theory. The authors take care to develop the theoretical foundations for the statistical methods presented at a level that is accessible to students with only a calculus background. They explore the practical implications of the formal results to problem-solving so students gain an understanding of the logic behind the techniques as well as practice in using them. The examples, exercises, and applications were chosen specifically for students in engineering and computer science and include opportunities for real data analysis.
