Easy to Use

I used this textbook for my engineering statistics class. Overall, the text was very helpful. It has clear and accurate information with lots of examples. I could teach myself the majority of the class material by reading this textbook and working through the practice problems. Also, the chapters are not excessively long. The focus of each chapter is direct and clear. Only gave 4/5 stars because the book is not 100% perfect. There are some small typos here and there. None major.

Thanks!

I refunded the book because my friend lend me his. I thought the process would be troublesome, but it actually was not. Thanks! =)

One of the better statistics books

For the most part this is actually one of the better statistics books I have used. It's greatest strengths lie in the number of examples provided and the "Do's and Don'ts" at the end of each chapter. The narratives and proofs do a fairly decent job of introducing and developing new concepts and formulas, and there is generally a good segway from one topic to the next. If you have other statistics books like I do, this book actually does a good enough job deriving each distribution that things became clear here that I had always puzzled over in my other books. It is admittedly a bit distracting at times when an example references data from an earlier example in a previous chapter requiring you to bookmark pages with your fingers so that you can flip back and forth as you work through an example. In other areas, at times an example might skip a few steps which will require you to think through how they made the leap. Still, despite these shortcomings and the occassional errata, I still believe this is one of the better statistics textbooks.

Right Book, Arrived Quickly

They send me the book I ordered, and it arrived long before the expected date. It was not the book I needed, but that was my own mistake.

Very good book

The probability and statistics for engineeting book provides a very good first book on probability and statistics. It is very useful to engineers and scientists that need to analyse and interpret data. It has a very good material on statistical inference and on quality and reliability. I strongly recommend this book.
