Description: Demonstrating that probability is an applied science useful to engineers, this book shows how the theory can be adapted to solve practical problems in areas such as quality control. The book goes on to examine control charts, tolerancing, reliability, random processing and decision trees.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 623-625) and index.
