Probability and Statistical Inference, 9/e (IE-Paperback)

For a one- or two-semester course; calculus background presumed, no previous study of probability or statistics is required. Written by three veteran statisticians, this applied introduction to probability and statistics emphasizes the existence of variation in almost every process, and how the study of probability and statistics helps us understand this variation. Designed for students with a background in calculus, this book continues to reinforce basic mathematical concepts with numerous real-world examples and applications to illustrate the relevance of key concepts.

這是一本為期一學期或兩學期的課程教材；預設學生具備微積分背景，不需要先前的機率或統計學研究經驗。由三位經驗豐富的統計學家撰寫，這本應用概率和統計學的入門書強調幾乎每個過程中都存在變異性，以及概率和統計學的研究如何幫助我們理解這種變異性。本書針對具備微積分背景的學生設計，通過眾多實際案例和應用來強化基本數學概念，以展示關鍵概念的相關性。
