Statistics and probability are two branches of mathematics that deal with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data. Statistics is concerned with summarizing and describing data, making inferences from data, and testing hypotheses. Probability is the study of the likelihood of events, the rules of combining probabilities, and the applications of probability to various fields.
An Introduction to Statistics and Probability by Nurul Islam is a textbook that covers the basic concepts and methods of statistics and probability for undergraduate students. The book is divided into three parts: descriptive statistics, probability theory, and inferential statistics. The book aims to provide a clear and concise explanation of the topics, with examples, exercises, and solutions. The book also includes computer applications using SPSS, Excel, and R.
