Features: Probability and statistics, as a mathematical discipline that studies the quantitative laws of random phenomena, are widely applied in various aspects of natural sciences, technical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Mastering the basic theories and methods of this discipline is crucial for improving mathematical literacy and the ability to apply knowledge to recognize and solve related problems. This discipline not only has the abstractness of theory and the rigor of logic but also possesses its own unique methods of thinking and problem-solving techniques. Beginners often struggle to understand the principles but fail to solve the exercises, lacking ideas and grasping the key points. To help beginners learn this discipline well, the author has written this book based on years of experience in teaching probability and statistics. The book consists of 9 chapters,: Basic Concepts of Probability Theory, Random Variables and Their Distributions, Mathematical Characteristics of Random Variables, Random Vectors, Samples and Sampling Distributions, Parameter Estimation, Hypothesis Testing, Analysis of Variance, and Regression Analysis. Each chapter is structured into sections, with each section featuring key knowledge points, analysis of typical problems, synchronous exercises, and reference answers. Each chapter also includes problem-solving guidance for difficult points, summaries of frequently tested problems, knowledge networks, and test questions with answers. At the end of the book, several final exam test papers with answers are provided for self-assessment.
