商品簡介
A text emphasizing real application and implications of statistics in engineering practice. Practical issues of engineering data collection receive early consideration, as do descriptive and graphical methods and the ideas of least squares curve- and surface-fitting and factorial analysis. More emphasis is given to the making of statistical intervals than to significance testing. Features real engineering data and chapter-long case studies that illustrate concepts in realistic situations, plus use of computer output, key formulas, and exercises. This is an abridgement and modernization of Vardeman's Statistics for Engineering Problem Solving , which was published in 1994 by PWS Publishing. Vardeman is affiliated with Iowa State University. Jobe is affiliated with Miami University. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
