Put statistical theories into practice with PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERING AND THE SCIENCES, 9th Edition. Always a market favorite, this calculus-based book offers a comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics while demonstrating how to apply concepts, models, and methodologies in today's engineering and scientific workplaces. Jay Devore, an award-winning professor and internationally recognized author and statistician, stresses lively examples and engineering activities to drive home the numbers without exhaustive mathematical development and derivations. Many examples, practice problems, sample tests, and simulations based on real data and issues help you build a more intuitive connection to the material. A proven and accurate book, PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS FOR ENGINEERING AND THE SCIENCES, 9th Edition also includes graphics and screen shots from SAS(R), MINITAB(R), and Java(TM) Applets to give you a solid perspective of statistics in action.

Reviews for The Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences

The strengths are the material coverage (i.e. topics covered) and the engineering focus. I would describe this text as a reliable classic. This text has a great number of examples and exercises that are of high quality. Students enjoy doing the real world problems. I believe this is the text's greatest strength.
