The book Statistics, in two volumes, provides a balanced and rigorous coverage of all the topics taught to the students of economics, statistics, commerce and the physical sciences. It presents a thorough treatment of statistical methods in such a way that a previous acquaintance with mathematics and statistics is not necessary. For the students of non-mathematical background, all the mathematical tools such as permutation, combination, set theory, factorial, etc. required for the study of probability have been properly dealt with. As far as possible, mathematical complexity has been avoided and wherever desirable, the notations and terminologies have been clearly explicated with a detailed explanation of mathematical steps involved. Numerous real-world examples and applications have been provided throughout the book to reinforce basic statistical concepts. This book follows a concept-example-exercise approach in all chapters for better understanding of the topics covered.
Some of the special features of this book are:
• Solid organisation, with presentation of information in a logical, easy-to-grasp sequence, incorporating the latest trends in the field of statistics.
• Application-oriented content, step-by-step explanation of basic concepts, lucidity of style and simplicity of expression for better understanding of the subject.
• Exhaustive and comprehensive coverage of all the topics taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels in Indian universities.
• A large number of illustrated solved examples to give an insight into the basic concepts and a better understanding of the subject.
• Rich and properly graded problem sets under the Exercises for Self Assessment.
• An exclusive chapter on modern ideas of Statistical Quality Control to provide up-to-date coverage of this popular and significant trend in the field of quality control.
• Inclusion of problems from the latest examination papers of Indian universities and professional courses like C.A., I.C.W.A., M.B.A., etc.
