"This book describes the application of probability models to real-world situations, such as cryptology, population genetics, airline management, blood testing, drug detection, jury verdicts, elections, and music composition. It explains and applies to several examples basic concepts in probability; conditional probability and the multiplication rule; independence; combining the addition and multiplication rules;random variables, distributions, and expected values; joint distributions and conditional expectations; sampling with and without replacement; and binomial tests. No knowledge of probability is needed."--Provided by publisher.Abstract: "This book describes the application of probability models to real-world situations, such as cryptology, population genetics, airline management, blood testing, drug detection, jury verdicts, elections, and music composition.
