Statistical inference and its role in scientific research are emphasized and reinforced throughout the coverage of probability topics.
Stressing connectivity, the authors explain not only how major topics play a role in statistical inference but also how the topics are related to one another.
This text takes a practical approach in both the exercises throughout and the useful topics in statistical methodology covered in the last five chapters.
Exercises are based on real data or actual experimental scenarios which allow students to see the practical uses of various statistical and probabilistic methods.
