Features: This book can be used as a textbook for probability and statistics courses in engineering, agriculture, medicine, economics, and management disciplines in higher education institutions, or as a self-study reference for practitioners. It is a textbook for non-mathematics majors in higher education. The book consists of nine chapters, covering topics such as random events and probability calculation, random variables and their distributions, digital characteristics, multivariate random vectors, limit theorems, basic concepts of mathematical statistics, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, and linear regression analysis. Each chapter includes a selection of exercises, and answers to selected exercises are provided at the end of the book. There are two appendices at the end of the book, with Appendix II introducing many important probability distributions. The book strives to use minimal mathematical knowledge, emphasizes the explanation of probability and statistics concepts, and pays attention to the diversity of examples.
