About This Book

Fundamentals of Statistics covers topics on the introduction, fundamentals, and science of statistics. The book discusses the collection, organization and representation of numerical data; elementary probability; the binomial Poisson distributions; and the measures of central tendency. The text describes measures of dispersion for measuring the spread of a distribution; continuous distributions for measuring on a continuous scale; the properties and use of normal distribution; and tests involving the normal or student's 't' distributions. The use of control charts for sample means; the ranges and fraction defective; the chi-squared distribution; the F distribution; and the bivariate distributions are also considered. The book deals with the idea of mathematical expectation and its relationship with mean, variance, and covariance, as well as weighted averages, death rates, and time series. Students studying for advanced level education or higher national certificates in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology, or Pharmacy, as well as university students taking such courses will find the book invaluable.

INTRODUCTION 

done 

earlier 

by

a

number 

of

eminent 

mathematicians 

such 

as

Pascal 

(1623-1662), 

James 

Bernouilli 

(1654-1705), 

and

probably 

the

greatest 

of

all

the

earlier 

writers 

on

statistical 

subjects 

Gauss 

(1777-1855). 

Since 

the

beginning 

of

this 

century 

the

subject 

has

received 

much 

wider 

attention 

as

its

usefulness, 

first 

to

agriculture 

and

then 

to

industry, 

has

been 

realized. 

Nowadays, 

most 

large 

industrial 

and

commercial 

firms 

use

some 

statistical 

techniques 

and

in

the

training 

of

scientists, 

engineers, 

economists 

and

accountants 

a

course 

in

statistics 

is

generally 

included. 

It

has

already 

been 

emphasized 

that 

the

collection 

of

data 

to

which 

the

statistical 

processes 

are

applied 

must 

be

reliable. 

It

must 

also 

be

remembered 

that 

the

use

of

statistical 

procedures 

does 

not, 

of

itself, 

guard 

against 

faulty 

reasoning 

or

incorrect 

interpretation 

of

results. 

The

misuse 

of

statistics 

to

prove 

that 

a

desired 

conclusion 

is

correct 

is

not

unknown.
