Book Description
This text brings statistical tools to engineers and scientists who design and develop new products, new manufacturing systems and processes and who improve existing systems. Written by engineers for engineers, the examples and exercises are engineering-based, containing real data. And because computers are used to apply statistical methods to solve problems, output is presented from Statgraphics and SAS to illustrate what can be done with modern statistical software. Readers will master discrete and continuous random variables and probability distributions; point and interval estimation; testing hypotheses; simple and multiple linear regression; design of experiments; nonparametric statistics; and statistical quality control.

Reviews


One of the best statistic books I've ever seen!
I bought this book for my statistic class. this book is great. Examples are easy to follow and the theory is easy to read.

Few Problems
Not enough solutions were selected to help me out for the class of Statistics that I was taking. Instead of every odd problem it was more like one out of every 5 or 6 problems.

nice book
This book covers almost everything useful about statistics and probability. It has good examples, good explanations and good applications to engineering problems. Useful for students, professors and profesionals.

A Very Good Applied Stat Book
The book is very good for applied Statistics in engineering. It has many practical engineering examples that an engineer can apply at work. The "FREE Access to Online Student Resources Inside" white envelop interferes with opening the first few pages of the book when it is brand new. The book is well written.

Not recommended for self study
This book is not recommended for self study or distance courses. There are only sporadic answers to odd problems, most books of this type have answers for every odd problem. The student solution manual is even more worthless, some chapters have only 2 or 3 worked problems per chapter. Learning statistics with this book in a distance education course is really more painful than it should be. If you have to get this book, do not waste your money on the student solution manual.
This book may be a good reference to someone who already knows statistics, but to someone learning, especially without the benefit of lectures, the description and examples are way too sparse.
