Statistics, or statistical methods as it is sometimes called, is playing an increasingly important role in nearly all phases of human endeavor. Formerly dealing only with affairs of the state, thus accounting for its name, the influence of statistics has now spread to agriculture, biology, business, chemistry, communications, economics, education, electronics, medicine, physics, political science, psychology, sociology and numerous other fields of science and engineering.
The purpose of this book is to present an introduction to the general statistical principles which will be found useful to all individuals regardless of their fields of specialization. It has been designed for use either as a supplement to all current standard texts or as a textbook for a formal course in statistics. It should also be of considerable value as a book of reference for those presently engaged in applications of statistics to their own special problems of research.
Each chapter begins with clear statements of pertinent definitions, theorems and principles together with illustrative and other descriptive material. This is followed by graded sets of solved and supplementary problems which in many instances use data drawn from actual statistical situations. The solved problems serve to illustrate and amplify the theory, bring into sharp focus those fine points without which the students continually feel themselves to be on unsafe ground, and provide the repetition of basic principles so vital to effective teaching. Numerous derivations of formulas are included among the solved problems. The large number of supplementary problems with answers serve as a complete review of the material of each chapter.
