This book presents a concise and focused introduction to engineering statistics, emphasizing topics and concepts that a practicing engineer is mostly likely to use: the display of data, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, fitting straight lines to data, and designing experiments to find the impact of process changes on a system or its output.
