This book is in two volumes, and is intended as a text for
introductory courses in probability and statistics at the second or
third year university level. It em phasizes applications and
logical principles rather than mathematical theory. A good
background in freshman calculus is sufficient for most of the
material presented. Several starred sections have been included as
supplementary material. Nearly 900 problems and exercises of
varying difficulty are given, and Appendix A contains answers to
about one-third of them. The first volume (Chapters 1-8) deals with
probability models and with math ematical methods for describing
and manipulating them. It is similar in content and organization to
the 1979 edition. Some sections have been rewritten and
expanded-for example, the discussions of independent random
variables and conditional probability. Many new exercises have been
added. In the second volume (Chapters 9-16), probability models are
used as the basis for the analysis and interpretation of data. This
material has been revised extensively. Chapters 9 and 10 describe
the use of the likelihood function in estimation problems, as in
the 1979 edition. Chapter 11 then discusses frequency properties of
estimation procedures, and introduces coverage probability and
confidence intervals. Chapter 12 describes tests of significance,
with applications primarily to frequency data. The likelihood ratio
statistic is used to unify the material on testing, and connect it
with earlier material on estimation."
