Schaum's Outline of Probability, Second Edition, focuses on non-calculus probability theory, making it ideal for humanities and science majors who study practical statistics for problem solving. This popular Schaum's study guide provides new material on descriptive statistics, hi-square distribution, and more.
Summary: I Like It
Rating: 5
Like other books in their math series, it is an excellent workbook or refresher course, but cannot be used as a primary textbook. Good for:
**supplementary exercises if you are currently taking a probability course
**you just finished a course, but need more practice
**you took a course, oh so many years ago, but need to brush up
**you have a real calculation you have to do (e.g. you have polling data, and want know if marital status and voting in a presidential election are independent)
It has these chapters:
**set theory (venn diagrams)
**techniques of counting (notation, diagrams, binomials)
**introduction to probability (sample spaces, axioms)
**conditional probability and independence
**random variables (making calculations)
**binomial and normal distributions
**markov processes (markov chains and matrix calculations)
**descriptive statistics (mean, variance, standard deviation)
**chi-square distribution (calculating goodness of fit)
This happy workbook has lots of worked out examples to show you how it is done, and lots of supplementary problems with answers so you can practice on your own. Since the chapters are only weakly dependent on each other, you can skip around and do not have to go through them in order.
Summary: Great Overview
