Synopsis

Statistics, originally consisting of the collection and tabulation of data concerning the state, is now the technical means by which data can be developed and analyzed for intelligent decision making. The field of its use has extended far beyond state and government services, and it is employed extensively in every branch of science and business. Statistics is a very practical subject and it is the aim of this text, with its numerous examples, to provide the reader, not only with an understanding of statistical methods, but with the ability to apply these methods himself in whatever field of endeavor he is personally interested. This book contains 418 examples and problems, over 300 with worked solutions, and the remainder with notes and answers.
