Statistics And Probability For Engineering Applications With Microsoft Excel

tatistics and Probability for Engineering Applications
provides a complete discussion of all the major topics typically covered
in a college engineering statistics course. This textbook minimizes the
derivations and mathematical theory, focusing instead on the
information and techniques most needed and used in engineering
applications. It is filled with practical techniques directly applicable
on the job. Written by an experienced industry engineer and statistics
professor, this book makes learning statistical methods easier for
today's student.

This book can be read sequentially like a normal
textbook, but it is designed to be used as a handbook, pointing the
reader to the topics and sections pertinent to a particular type of
statistical problem. Each new concept is clearly and briefly described,
whenever possible by relating it to previous topics. Then the student is
given carefully chosen examples to deepen understanding of the basic
ideas and how they are applied in engineering. The examples and case
studies are taken from real-world engineering problems and use real
data. A number of practice problems are provided for each section, with
answers in the back for selected problems.

This book will appeal
to engineers in the entire engineering spectrum (electronics/electrical,
mechanical, chemical, and civil engineering); engineering students and
students taking computer science/computer engineering graduate courses;
scientists needing to use applied statistical methods; and engineering
technicians and technologists.
