Preface
This bookintroducesprobabilityandstatisticstostudentsofengineeringand
the physical sciences. It is primarily applications focused but it contains
optionalenrichmentmaterial.Eachchapterbeginswithanintroductorystate-
ment and concludes with a set of statistical guidelines for correctly applying
statisticalproceduresandavoidingcommonpitfalls.TheseDo’sandDon’tsarethen
followed by a checklist of key terms. Important formulas, theorems, and rules are
setoutfromthetextinboxes.
Theexpositionoftheconceptsandstatisticalmethodsisespeciallyclear.Itin-
cludesacarefulintroductiontoprobabilityandsomebasicdistributions.Itcontinues
byplacingemphasisonunderstandingthemeaningofconfidenceintervalsandthe
logic of testing statistical hypotheses. Confidence intervals are stressed as the ma-
jor procedure for making inferences. Their properties are carefully described and
their interpretation is reviewed in the examples. The steps for hypothesis testing
are clearly and consistently delineated in each application. The interpretation and
calculationoftheP-valueisreinforcedwithmanyexamples.
In this ninth edition, we have continued to build on the strengths of the previ-
ouseditionsbyaddingseveralmoredatasetsandexamplesshowingapplicationof

Visual presentation of 22 and 23 designs. Two-level factorial designs have a
50-year tradition in the teaching of engineering statistics at the University of
Wisconsin. It is critical that engineering students become acquainted with the key
ideas of (i) systematically varying several input variables at a time and (ii) how to
interpretinteractions.MajorrevisionshaveproducedSection13.3thatisnowself-
contained. Instructors cancover this materialintwoor three lecturesattheendof

Togivestudentsanearlypreviewofstatistics,descriptivestatisticsarecovered
in Chapter 2. Chapters 3 through 6 provide a brief, though rigorous, introduction
tothebasicsofprobability,populardistributionsformodelingpopulationvariation,
and sampling distributions. Chapters 7, 8, and 9 form the core material on the key
concepts and elementary methods of statistical inference. Chapters 11, 12, and 13
compriseanintroductiontosomeofthestandard,thoughmoreadvanced,topicsof
experimental design and regression. Chapter 14 concerns nonparametric tests and
goodness-of-fittest.Chapter15stressesthekeyunderlyingstatisticalideasforqual-
ity improvement, and Chapter 16 treats the associated ideas of reliability and the
fittingoflifelengthmodels.
