Realistic models of real-world phenomena must take into account the possibility of randomness. More often than not, quantities are not predictable, but exhibit variations that should be taken into account by the model. This is usually accomplished by allowing the model to be probabilistic in nature. Such a model is referred as a probability model.
Introduction to Probability Models is a fascinating introduction to applications from diverse disciplines and an excellent introduction to a wide variety of applied probability topics.
