Probability and Statistics Summary

Probability and Statistics: The Science of Uncertainty by John Tabak

Modern applications of these ideas, the use of probability in modern safety analysis and phone networks, and the use of statistics in epidemiology and actuarial science, are also presented in this clearly written and illustrated reference.
