Product Description
Picking up where Elements of Statistics I leaves off, this study guide clearly explains discrete probability distribution, including normal, continuing, sampling, and other distributions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but it could be better., May 19, 2001

By	Leonardo (Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais Brazil) - See all my reviews

I've read some books of "Schaum's Outline" series and I think that this one is not so good. In my opinion, the principal area of the subject is "hypothesis testing" that is not well covered. Despite this, the "probability distributions" part is usefull.
