Features: This book is a textbook for the probability theory and mathematical statistics course for non-mathematics majors in higher education institutions. The book consists of 11 chapters, covering the following content: Random events and their probabilities, Random variables and their distributions, Random vectors and their distributions, Functions of random variables and numerical simulation, Digital characteristics of random variables, Law of large numbers and central limit theorem, Samples and sampling distributions, Parameter estimation, Hypothesis testing, Analysis of variance, and Regression analysis. The book is concise and easy to understand, with natural and practical introduction of concepts, making it suitable for teaching. When explaining the probability distributions of random variables and the content of mathematical statistics, the book also adopts a combination of figures, tables, and formulas, which reduces the length of the text while making it easier for students to understand and master. This book can be used as a textbook or reference for probability theory and mathematical statistics courses for undergraduate students in higher education institutions (including science and engineering majors and economics majors), as well as a reference for applied probability and statistics for engineering and technical personnel. The book includes content such as random events and their probabilities, random variables and their distributions, random vectors and their distributions, functions of random variables and numerical simulation, digital characteristics of random variables, law of large numbers and central limit theorem, samples and sampling distributions, etc.
