Probability and Its Applications for Engineers

Part I of Probability and Its Applications for Engineers explicates the theory and illustrates its use with concrete examples from such topics as quality control/acceptance sampling...telephone network blocking.....economics and inventory control....the use of moments....and the overly conscientious worker phenonmenon. Part II elaborates on practical applications of the theory in areas of interest to practicing engineers. Beginning with an introduction to statistics, Part II provides concise, self-contained examinations of control charts.....tolerancing .... reliability....random processes...decision trees...and more
