Probability and statistics for engineers and scientists

1 Overview; Statistical Inference, Samples, Populations,
and the Role of Probability
Beginning in the 1980s and continuing into the 21st century, an inordinate amount of attention has been focused on improvement of quality in American industry. Much has been said and written about the Japanese "industrial miracle," which began in the middle of the 20th century. The Japanese were able to succeed where we and other countries had failed-namely, to create an atmosphere that allows the production of high-quality products. Much of the success of the Japanese has been attributed to the use of statistical methods and statistical thinking among management personnel.
Use of Scientific Data
The use of statistical methods in manufacturing, development of food products, computer software, energy sources, Pharmaceuticals, and many other areas involves the gathering of information or scientific data. Of course, the gathering of data is nothing new. It has been done for well over a thousand years. Data have been collected, summarized, reported, and stored for perusal. However, there is a profound distinction between collection of scientific information and inferential statistics. It is the latter that has received rightful attention in recent decades.
The offspring of inferential statistics has been a large "toolbox" of statistical methods employed by statistical practitioners. These statistical methods are de¬signed to contribute to the process of making scientific judgments in the face of uncertainty and variation. The product density of a particular material from a manufacturing process will not always be the same. Indeed, if the process involved is a batch process rather than continuous, there will be not only variation in ma¬terial density among the batches that come off the line (batch-to-batch variation), but also within-batch variation. Statistical methods are used to analyze data from a process such as this one in order to gain more sense of where in the process changes may be made to improve the quality of the process. In this process, qual.
