Features: This book is revised based on the original "Probability and Statistics (Engineering Mathematics)" and developed according to our many years of teaching reform practice. It includes topics such as random events and probability, discrete random variables and their distributions, continuous random variables and their distributions, the digital characteristics of random variables, the limits of random variable sequences, an introduction to the basics of modern probability theory, the basic concepts of mathematical statistics, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and analysis of variance. Each chapter includes a substantial number of exercises, and the answers to these exercises are provided at the end of the book for reference. Based on the teaching syllabus formulated by the Ministry of Education, this book closely aligns with the entrance examination syllabus for postgraduate studies, standardizing the terminology and notation used in probability and statistics. With the primary goal of improving readers' problem-solving and practical application skills, the book introduces abstract concepts through real-world examples and then returns to practical problems from abstract mathematical theorems, helping readers grasp modern probability and statistics more quickly. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for undergraduate students (including those in science and engineering as well as economics) taking courses in probability theory and mathematical statistics, or as a practical reference for a wide range of probability and statistics practitioners.
