About the Book: A First Course in Probability and Statistics
Explanation of the basic concepts and methods of statistics requires a
reasonably good mathematical background, at least at a first-year-level
knowledge of calculus. Most of the statistical software explain how to conduct
data analysis, but do not explain when to apply and when not to apply it.
Keeping this in view, we try to explain the basic concepts of probability and
statistics for students with an understanding of a first course in calculus at
the undergraduate level. Designed as a textbook for undergraduate and first-year
graduate students in statistics, bio-statistics, social sciences and business
administration programs as
