Synopsis

* More Motivation - A completely revised chapter 1 gets students motivated right from the beginning.



* Revised Probability Topics - The authors have revised and enhanced probability topics to promote even easier understanding.



* Chapter Reorganization - Chapters on hypothesis testing and confidence intervals have been reorganized and rewritten. There is now expanded treatment of confidence intervals, prediction intervals, and tolerance intervals.



* Real Engineering Applications - Treatment of all topics is oriented towards real engineering applications. In the probability chapters, the authors do not emphasize counting methods or artificial applications such as gambling.



* Real Data, Real Engineering Situations - Examples and exercises throughout text use real data and real engineering situations. This motivates students to learn new concepts and gives them a taste of practical engineering experience.




Use of the Computer - Computer usage is closely integrated into the text and homework exercises.
