This book provides interesting and useful real-world applications of probability and statistics, some of which are rarely found in standard introduction books including the analysis of sample surveys, the analysis of experimental data, and statistical quality control. The study of probability and statistics iscrucial in manufacturing as well as in the analysis of sample surveys and in experimentation. This book recognizes that there are many sampling techniques that can actually improve on simple random sampling, and in addition, an introduction to the design of experiments is provided to reflect the recent advances in conducting scientific experiments. Visualization is a main feature of thebook and aids readers to further understand the concepts via graphs, 3-D diagrams, charts, and tables. Chapter coverage includes probability and sample spaces; permutations and combinations; conditional probability; geometric probability; random variables and discrete probability distributions; probability in sports; waiting time problems; continuous probability distributions; statistical inference; statistical process control; nonparametric methods, least squares and medians; sampling; design of experimental recursions and probability; and generating function and the Central Limit Theorem.
