Publisher's Synopsis
The statistics every engineer should know
Statistics is essential for solving many types of engineeringproblems. Focusing on the statistical techniques most often used inengineering practice, Montgomery, Runger, and Hubele s Engineering Statistics, Fourth Edition presents a wide rangeof techniques and methods that you ll be able to call upon inyour professional capacities.
Through its three previous editions, EngineeringStatistics set the standard for statistical texts servingengineers. This Fourth Edition follows the classic swinning approach, and provides a host of new features andimprovements that you ll appreciate. Developed initially withsponsorship from the National Science Foundation, this revisioncovers all the major aspects of engineering statisticsincluding:
- Descriptive statistics
- Probability and probability distributions
- Statistical tests and confidence intervals for one and twosamples
- Building regression models
- Designing and analyzing engineering experiments
- Statistical quality control
The new edition also features numerous enhancements that helpyou grasp and absorb the material. Emphasizing data analysis andstatistical inference, the text makes use of new, cross–sections ofreal engineering situations and real data sets and takes astep–by–step approach so that you gain insight into the underlyingstructure of the problems as you master the problem–solvingtechniques. Notes which help you interpret results are aparticularly useful feature of the revised text.
With comprehensive integration of the PC–based statisticalsoftware Minitab and online support through WileyPLUS, this newestedition of Engineering Statistics will serve as a practicalintroduction for students and a reliable reference for every stageof your engineering career.
