Originally published in 1986, this book consists of 100 problems in probability and statistics, together with solutions and, most importantly, extensive notes on the solutions. The level of sophistication of the problems is similar to that encountered in many introductory courses in probability and statistics. At this level, straightforward solutions to the problems are of limited value unless they contain informed discussion of the choice of technique used, and possible alternatives. The solutions in the book are therefore elaborated with extensive notes which add value to the solutions themselves. The notes enable the reader to discover relationships between various statistical techniques, and provide the confidence needed to tackle new problems.Contents: Probability and Random Variables:ProbabilityRandom VariablesProbability Distributions:Discrete DistributionsContinuous DistributionsSimulating Random VariablesData Summarisation and Goodness-of-Fit:Data SummarisationGoodness-of-FitInference:One Sample — Normal DistributionTwo Samples — Normal DistributionBinomial and Poisson DistributionsOther ProblemsAnalysis of Structured Data:Regression and CorrelationAnalysis of VarianceContingency TablesTime SeriesReadership: Students on introductory courses in probability and statistics, with a background in calculus.Key Features:Summarizes the known knowns (the most important recent work) and lists the known unknowns (what remains to be investigated)Provides expert commentary on the complex behavior of materials
