Statistics and Probability

This text covers descriptive statistics, including measures of central tendency, dispersion and position; elements of probability; inferential statistics including confidence intervals, hypothesis tests, two-population comparisons; correlation and regression; goodness of fit; analysis of variance; and applications in various fields. An introduction to the use of a computer software package to complete both descriptive and inferential statistics problems is included.
