With Montgomery and Runger's best-selling engineering statistics text, you can learn how to apply statistics to real engineering situations. The text shows you how to use statistical methods to design and develop new products, and new manufacturing systems and processes. You'll gain a better understanding of how these methods are used in everyday work, and get a taste of practical engineering experience through real-world, engineering-based examples and exercises.

Now revised, this Fourth Edition of Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers features many new homework exercises, including a greater variation of problems and more computer problems.

Review

Instructor's Manual available. -- The publisher, John Wiley & Sons --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

Written by engineers, it uses a practical, applied approach that is more oriented to engineering than any other text available. Instead of a few engineering examples mixed in with examples from other fields, all of its unique problem sets reflect the types of situations encountered by engineers in their working lives. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This could be a valuable text with lots of practice questions. But any good qualities are totally overshadowed by its numerous errors. If you are forced to use this book for a class, be sure to find the errata listings on its associated web page early in the semester.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst book ever, June 23, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers (Hardcover)

I have never seen as many mistakes in any other college level textbook in my life. The authors are so lazy, the end of section questions refer to tables and information which you have to flip backwards 50 or 75 pages to find the example they are referring to. The could not come up with new examples of what. Definitely use Bean's book which uses many real world examples to illustrated ideas. This book is awful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, engineers can learn statistics!, March 27, 2000

This review is from: Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers (Hardcover)

Engineers always think Statistics as a science of dice and coins, and tend to simplify the analysis of random results with means and standard deviations. "Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers" shows how this important science can help engineers to develop and improve processes and products. The text is clear and comprehensive covering from basic probability to statistical quality control. The examples and exercises represent practical problems and interesting case studies of engineering and experimental design.
