Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences, 8/e (IE-Paperback)
暫譯: 工程與科學的機率與統計，第8版 (IE-平裝本)

<內容簡介>

1. Several exercises refer to material covered in earlier sections and chapters, allowing students to more easily see the connections between concepts.
2. Virtually every example and exercise has a real world context. Real data in exercises and examples stimulate students' interest and enhance their comprehension of concepts.
3. Notable content includes a strong emphasis on the role that variation plays in statistics, emphasis on the nature of variation in the slope estimate in simple linear regression, and inclusion of a detailed description of pooled t procedures to provide a balance between unpooled and pooled analyses.
4. "Simulation Experiments" help students gain an understanding of sampling distributions and the insight they provide, especially when a derivation is too complex to carry out.
5. Strong computer coverage, especially with ANOVA and regression, is supported by an abundance of computer output from SAS® and MINITAB® and coverage of computer methods. Inclusion of Java™ Applets from Gary McClelland's SEEING STATISTICS, specifically designed for this calculus-based text, allows students to experience statistics firsthand.

New To This Edition
1. Chapter 1, "Overview and Descriptive Statistics," contains a new subsection on "The Scope of Modern Statistics" that describes and exemplifies how statistics is used in modern disciplines.
2. A significantly revised and simplified Chapter 8, "Tests of Hypotheses Based on a Single Sample," also has a new subsection entitled "More on Interpreting P-values."
3. More than 40 new examples and 100 new problems were carefully researched and written using the most up-to-date real data.
