The primary aim is to provide an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals for the proper application in engineering problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second edition of this well-known book (previously titled \u003ci\u003eProbability Concepts in Engineering Planning and Design\u003c\/i\u003e) by Alfredo Ang and Wilson Tang, two world-renowned educators, has been revised to simplify understanding the fundamentals of probability and statistics for engineering students. The second edition includes many new and expanded topics, including hypothesis testing and confidence intervals in regression analysis. Students using this text will develop the ability to formulate and solve real-world problems in engineering. The authors accomplish this by explaining all the concepts and methods through a variety of relevant engineering and physical problems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach basic principle is presented and illustrated through different examples relevant to engineering and the physical sciences, particularly civil and environmental engineering.  The exercise problems in each chapter further enhance understanding of basic concepts and reinforce a working knowledge of concepts and methods. The authors firmly believe that the easiest and most effective way for engineers to learn and master a new set of abstract principles is to apply them to a variety of applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eChapter 1 -\u003cbr\u003e Role of Probability and Statistics in Engineering\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2 -- Fundamentals of Probability Models\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 -- Analytical Models of Random Phenomena\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 -- Functions of Random Variables\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 -\u003cbr\u003e Computer-Based Numerical and Simulation Methods in Probability\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6 -- Statistical Inferences from Observational Data\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7 -- Determination of Probability Distribution Models\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8 -- Regression and Correlation Analyses\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9 -- The Bayesian Approach\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10 -\u003cbr\u003e Elements of Quality Assurance and Acceptance Sampling\u003cbr\u003e (Available only online at the Wiley web site)\u003cbr\u003e Appendices:\u003cbr\u003e Table A.1 -- Standard Normal Probabilities\u003cbr\u003e Table A.2 -\u003cbr\u003e CDF of the Binomial Distribution\u003cbr\u003e Table A.3 -\u003cbr\u003e Critical Values of t Distribution at Confidence Level (1- a)=p\u003cbr\u003e Table A.4 -\u003cbr\u003e Critical Values of the c2 Distribution at Confidence Level (1-a)=pTable A.5 -\u003cbr\u003e Critical Values of Dna at Significance Level a in the K-S Test\u003cbr\u003e Table A.6 -\u003cbr\u003e Critical Values of the Anderson-Darling Goodness-of-fit Test\u003cbr\u003e (for 4 specific distributions)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Civil engineering, surveying \u0026amp; building\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Civil%20engineering,%20surveying%20\u0026amp;%20building%20%5BTN%5D%22\"\u003eTN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501421555992,"sku":"9780471720645","price":184.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471720645.jpg?v=1786237171","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/probability-concepts-in-engineering-emphasis-on-applications-to-civil-and-environmental-engineering-hardback-9780471720645","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
