A modern problem-based approach to statistics for engineers and scientists. With this book, you’ll develop the skills and understanding needed to use basic statistics in engineering and scientific problem solving! Best-selling authors Jay Devore and Nicholas Forum draw on real from industry reports and articles to introduce you to statistics as it is used in the real world. Updated throughout, the Second Edition of Applied Statistics for Engineers and Scientists includes:
- A free DATA CD with every new text, containing real data sets utilized in the book's examples and problems
- Many new exercise and examples, most featuring real data
- Expanded coverage of reliability, the perils of nonrandom samples, and stratified sampling, as well as updates discussion of confidence intervals for proportions that reflects recent developments in improving the estimates
- An emphasis on modern statistical methods, including quality and design of experiments
- Practical use of the computer, including an emphasis on graphical data analysis and many examples of output from the most widely used statistical computer packages, such as MINITAB,JMP IN,SAS, and S-Plies
