This book focuses on applications of probability through the presentation of models rather than theory alone. In this practical and interesting book, author Do Le (Paul) Minh provides accessible coverage of Probability Models. Minh motivates the material with interesting application problems relating to medicine, business, and engineering, many of which are based on real studies and application. Throughout the book, he thoughtfully integrates the use of computers, including spreadsheets, to solve problems. Real studies in examples and exercises are used throughout the book to demonstrate how Probability Models have been used in actual problems. Thoughtful integration of computing provides practical insight into how Probability Models can be applied to larger scale problems.Intended for a course in Probability Models at the undergraduate or graduate level, this book is designed for those who will actually use probability and is designed to fit diverse audiences (business students, applied engineering students, and biology students).
