Preface
Courses in probability and statistics are becoming very popular, both at the college
and at the high school level, primarily because they are crucial in the analysis of data
derived from samples and designed experiments and in statistical process control
in manufacturing. Curiously, while these topics have put statistics at the forefront
of scientific investigation, they are given very little emphasis in textbooks for these
courses.
This book has been written to provide instructors with material on these important
topics so that they may be included in introductory courses. In addition, it provides
instructors with examples that go beyond those commonly used. I have developed
these examples from my own long experience with students and with teachers in
teacher enrichment programs. It is hoped that these examples will be of interest in
themselves, thus increasing student motivation in the subjects and providing topics
students can investigate in individual projects.
Although some of these examples can be regarded as advanced, they are presented
here in ways to make them accessible at the introductory level. Examples include a
problem involving a run of defeats in baseball, a method of selecting the best candidate
from a group of applicants for a position, and an interesting set of problems involving
the waiting time for an event to occur.
Connections with geometry are frequent. The fact that the medians of a triangle
meet at a point becomes an extremely useful fact in the analysis of bivariate data;
problems in conditional probability, often a challenge for students, are solved using
only the area of a rectangle. Graphs allow us to see many solutions visually, and the
computer makes graphic illustrations and heretofore exceedingly difficult computations
quick and easy.
Students searching for topics to investigate will find many examples in this book.
I think then of the book as providing both supplemental applications and novel
explanations of some significant topics, and trust it will prove a useful resource for
both teachers and students.
It is a pleasure to acknowledge the many contributions of Susanne Steitz-Filler,
my editor at JohnWiley & Sons. I am most deeply grateful to my wife, Cherry; again,
she has been indispensable.
