From the Dust Jacket: "The practical application of numerous models, including the normal, exponential, gamma, beta, Weibull and extreme value distributions, is considered in detail. Such important subjects as variable transformations, the use of empirical distributions, statistical error analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, probability plotting and analytic tests for distributional assumptions are covered in unusual detail." From the Preface: "Our main purpose is to show the engineer responsible for a product whose performance is subject to chance fluctuations how to choose a reasonable statistical model and how to use this model in the evaluation of practical problems."
