Riassunto

This book is intended as a text for an introductory course in probability and statistics at the second or third year university level. It emphasizes applications and logical principles rather than mathematical theory. A good background in freshman calcuius is suf­ ficient for most of the material presented. The book is in two parts. The first part (Chapters 1 - 8) deals with probability models and with mathematical methods for hand­ ling them. in the second part (Chapters 9 - 16), probability models are used as the basis for the analysis and interpretation of data. Several starred sections have been included as supplementary material. A large supply of practice problems is provided, and Appendix A con­ tains answers to about one-third of these. Computers and sophisticated pocket calculators are having a profound effect on statistical practice. Not only can the same ari­ thmetic be done in a fraction of the time, but more importantly, statistical methods which were previously not feasible because of the amount of calculation required now present no difficulties. In par­ ticular, the likelihood function itself and procedures closely related to it now give simple and immediate solutions to problems which twenty years ago would have required complicated approximate solutions of doubtful accuracy. One reason for writing this book was to draw at­ tention to these useful methods.
