Publisher's Synopsis
SOLVE REAL–WORLD ENGINEERING PROBLEMS WITH STATE–OF–THE–ART STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES
In the Second Edition of their concise, modern approach to engineering statistics, the authors emphasize the vital role statistics plays in the engineering problem–solving process. Updated with the latest techniques and new exercises and examples, the new edition provides engineers from all fields with statistical methodologies currently used in professional practice.
The text covers all major aspects of engineering statistics, including descriptive statistics, statistical test and confidence intervals for one and two samples, building regression models, designing and analyzing engineering experiments, statistical process control, and some probability and probability distributions. Throughout, you′ll discover many practical examples of how statistical techniques and tools are applied to real–world engineering problems.
