Probability and Statistics for Engineering and Science

Improves the organization of the descriptive material in Chapter 1 and motivates students by demonstrating the relevance of statistics in engineering.

Places more emphasis at the outset of the role that variation plays in statistics.

Features expanded use of computer output and stronger coverage of computer methods, especially in the coverage of analysis of variance and regression.
