The strength of this book is that it readdresses these shortcomings; by using examples, often from real life and using real data, the authors show how the fundamentals of probabilistic and statistical theories arise intuitively. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Modern Introduction to Probability and Statistics\u003c\/i\u003e has numerous quick exercises to give direct feedback to students. In addition there are over 350 exercises, half of which have answers, of which half have full solutions. A website gives access to the data files used in the text, and, for instructors, the remaining solutions. The only pre-requisite is a first course in calculus; the text covers standard statistics and probability material, and develops beyond traditional parametric models to the Poisson process, and on to modern methods such as the bootstrap.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2005-06-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781852338961\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/1-84628-168-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 488\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44365152288908,"sku":"9781852338961","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781852338961.jpg?v=1775732228","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781852338961","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
