Cengage Learning, Inc Mathematical Statistics with Applications 7th edition

Wackerly (University of Florida) presents the theory of statistics in the context of practical problem solving and real world applications, in this text for a one-year undergraduate sequence on mathematical statistics. This text differs from others in three ways: treatment of statistical inference, an emphasis on connectivity, and a practical orientation. The presentation of probability is preceded by a clear statement of the objective of statistics--statistical inference--and its role in scientific research. Connectivity is emphasized by explaining not only how major topics play a role in statistical inference, but also how the topics are related to one another. This seventh edition offers computer applets to visually reinforce concepts, available online at a companion web site. This edition also includes 350 new exercises. The only mathematical prerequisite is a thorough knowledge of first-year college calculus, including sums of infinite series, differentiation, and single and double integration.
