Modern statisticians are familiar with the notion that any finite body of data contains only a limited amount of information on any point under examination; that this limit is set by the nature of the data themselves, and cannot be increased by any amount of ingenuity expended in their statistical examination: that the statistician's task, in fact, is limited to the extraction of the whole of the available information on any particular issue.

This is an introductory textbook in applied statistics and probability for undergraduate students in engineering and the natural sciences. It begins at a level suitable for those with no previous exposure to probability and statistics and carries the reader through to a level of proficiency in various techniques of statistics. This text is divided into two parts: Part I discusses descriptive statistics, concepts of probability, probability distributions, sampling distributions, estimation, and testing of hypotheses, and Part II discusses various topics of applied statistics, including some reliability theory, data mining, cluster analysis, some nonparametric techniques, categorical data analysis, simple and multiple linear regression analysis, design and analysis of variance with emphasis on factorial designs, response surface methodology, and statistical quality control charts of phase I and phase II.
