This item has been replaced by Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences, 5/E.
For engineering statistics courses in departments of Statistics and Engineering.
Illustrates basic statistical concepts with extensive applications in engineering and scientific contexts. The text includes optional theoretical exercises allowing instructors who choose to emphasize theory to do so without requiring additional materials. The fourth edition contains SAS and MINITAB computer printouts of results for all analyses performed plus new exercises based on recent magazine and journal articles and news reports.
computer applications include clear, easy-to-follow instructions on how to use statistical software (SAS and MINITAB).
whenever an analysis is performed for a case study or example, a computer printout of the results is included—enabling students to focus on the interpretation of results and the proper application of methods.
Computer Lab sections following most chapters give students tutorials in SAS and MINITAB; each lab lists the commands used to generate the printouts displayed in the chapter and gives a brief explanation of each command.
menu-driven, user-friendly ASP statistical software included with the text performs all necessary computations—allowing students to concentrate on interpretations.
