      Summary note
      "An intuitive, yet precise introduction to probability theory and probabilistic models used in science, engineering, economics, and related fields. Book features : develops the basic concepts of probability, random variables, stochastic processes, laws of large numbers, and the central limit theorem ; new in the 2nd Edition : two chapters on statistical inference, which allow the use of the book in combined probability and statistics courses ; illustrates the theory with many examples ; provides many theoretical problems that extend the book's coverage and enhance its mathematical foundation (solutions are included in the text) ; provides many exercises that enhance the understanding of the basic material (solutions are posted on the publisher's website) ; is supplemented by man unsolved practices exercises and other supportive class material posted on the publisher's website ; has been developed through extensive classroom use and experience."--taken from back cover.
