Suhov Y. Probability and Statistics by Example. Vol 1. 2ed 2014

Textbook in PDF format

Probability and statistics are as much about intuition and problem solving as they are about theorem proving. Consequently, students can find it very difficult to make a successful transition from lectures to examinations, to practice because the problems involved can vary so much in nature. Since the subject is critical in so many applications, from insurance to telecommunications, to bioinformatics, the authors have collected more than 200 worked examples and examination questions with complete solutions to help students develop a deep understanding of the subject rather than a superficial knowledge of sophisticated theories. With amusing stories and historical asides sprinkled throughout, this enjoyable book will leave
students better equipped to solve problems in practice and under exam conditions
