"We live today in a world full of uncertainties where everything changes significantly through time. The idea that possibilities of events may vary with respect to a given condition makes it important for researchers to have enough knowledge about Statistics and Probability of things. This book, Statistics and Probability, discusses the fundamental topics one must know to be able to conduct effective decision making in research. Each topic is discussed in a step-by-step manner to assist students of different field understand well the fundamental of Statistics and Probability to help them prepare for higher level mathematics in the future. The examples are supported by detailed solutions and there are several examples that student can work on to accelerate their skills in solving different statistical problems. This book also uses notations that are easy to understand by general students and little by little introduces advanced mathematical notation to help student understand other mathematical discussion with high level notation"-- Preface of the book.
