 Not Good Jul 18, 2005
By Phil H
This is probably the second worst textbook I have ever read. I have struggled through the third chapter. In some cases, the text seems as though it was written for elementary school math covering set therory: extremely detailed and excessively verbose. In other cases, the text throws out examples without explaining any reasoning, or any how or why a formula is used.
The text continually refers to examples in previous sections, which forces the reader to search back through the text. The interuption is distracting and annoying. In many cases, the page numbers where the example can be found are not given. The text also does this with the exercises, forcing the student to wear-out the pages. Sometimes, I feel as though I need two copies of the textbook so I don't waste so much time thumbing back and forth.
I have ended up reading and re-reading the text while trying to understand some of the concepts and rational. In some areas, the author does not explain anything. While other times, the text continues for pages explaining things that an elementry school graduate should know. I am waiting to see multiplication tables in future chapters. All the while, some college level information is brushed-over. I typically need to work several exercises and beat my head against the wall a few times until I go ah ha! Why didn't the author explain this.
With textbooks like this, it is no wonder engineers have a reputation for poor communication skills.

 A poor quality book Oct 25, 2004
By Giorgos Pasxos
For 6th edition:
One may use this book as a handbook for some statistical problems. However, I find it very poor in terms of reading it from scratch. Moreover, many important issues are not covered, and those covered are not very analysed.
i.e. I cant find the transformation of stochastic variables, The properties of the gaussian d. are not fully covered. No Rayleigh or Rice distribution? After all I am not sure this book is for engineers.

 Smooth and useful text for probability and statistical tests Nov 09, 2004
By SamBK
The book is rather well written. It starts with verty simple probability theory and then describes densities and gets into tests and other topics. The level of math is reasonable and I think undergraduates in both engineering and economics should be able to handle that level of math. Every topic comes with numerical examples which makes it easy to get ideas. There are exercises in the book too and many of them (but not all of them) are helpful for understanding. At the end of the book you can conveniently find tables of distributions and different statistics you can use. I am still using those tables for my works. The only downside is that the book doesn't cover much of probability (like functions of random variables). The distribution covered are mainly to build basis for later chapters about testing. So I would say this is a good book for those who want to learn statistical tests and reliability.

 Very good book Apr 10, 2000
The probability and statistics for engineeting book provides a very good first book on probability and statistics. It is very useful to engineers and scientists that need to analyse and interpret data. It has a very good material on statistical inference and on quality and reliability. I strongly recommend this book.

Be aware that you're purchasing a "Solutions Manual". The answers/solutions are to questions that are not in this book. The questions are in another textbook.
