About this title

Synopsis

Dr. Hayter presents a careful, well-paced, and well-motivated introduction to probability and statistics designed for undergraduate students in scientific and technical disciplines. The presentation begins with probability and proceeds through coverage of data description and statistical inference. Hayter supports the concepts presented with a wealth of carefully developed examples. Numerous end-of-section exercises provide immediate opportunities for students to work with the concepts in the book.
