Description
John E. Freund's Mathematical Statistics with Applications, Eighth Edition, provides a calculus-based introduction to the theory and application of statistics, based on comprehensive coverage that reflects the latest in statistical thinking, the teaching of statistics, and current practices.
This text is appropriate for a two-semester or three-quarter calculus-based course in Introduction to Mathematical Statistics. It can also be used for a single-semester course emphasizing probability, probability distributions and densities, sampling, and classical statistical inference.
Features
- “The Theory in Practice” sections at the end of every chapter give students the chance to apply the methods they’ve learned.
- More than 1,200 exercises offer a wide variety to choose from in creating assignments, tests, and class work. Many of these exercises offer the opportunity to use technology so that students can understand the role of computers in factoring and analyzing statistical data.
- Comprehensive coverage of statistical theories students have appreciated for generations.
- Comprehensive appendices summarize the properties of the special probability distributions and density functions, making this text an invaluable reference.
New to this Edition
- The clear writing style is Freund’s legacy, and has been carefully revised for today’s students.
- Learning aids throughout this text support students in their studies. These include formal presentations of Definitions and enhancements in the emphasis of Theorems, Definitions, and Examples.
