Welcome...Fundamentals of Statistics & Probability Theory, a two volume textbook tutorial created by Howard Dachslager is an ideal tutorial resource for supporting both independent study and classroom textbook requirements. All major areas of elementary probability theory and statistics are covered in this innovative book. Acting as tutor, which utilizes a step-by-step approach, the reader is guided each step along of the way. Examples are presented, explained and solved in detail, providing the student with ample opportunity for reinforcement of the material. The book consists of 46 lessons covering set theory, probability theory, the normal distribution, inference theory and and all important areas of statistics, . Over 1800 examples and problems are provided throughout the book in a clear and concise presentation. The book is printed double-spaced. Students have found it helpful for note taking, and their test scores show that they are indeed learning from this tutorial approach. It is recommended that the student have some knowledge of elementary algebra. STEP - BY - STEP - LEARNINGYes, you can learn probability. Thousands of successful students are living proof of this. How is this possible? We explain statistics and probability theory in an entirely different way. Examples and problems are solved step-by- step. Concepts are clearly explained and straight to the point. Students have expressed with delight how easy it was for them to learn the subject. See for yourself: read the testimonials of several of the many students that have been successful using our book. TESTIMONIALS Readers Respond...I feel that I have been very fortunate to have used Dr. Dachslagers book. I am an RN who had gone back to school to learn how to do research in my field of cardiovascular nursing. During the first semester of my nursing research class, I was at a loss of how to incorporate a statistical model into my research paper. While studying this book, I found a model that was easy for me to understand and thus helped make my paper more clear.I received an A on my paper. Need I say more? Thank you, Dr. Dachslager! - Frankie Besch, RN, Indianapolis, Indiana--------------------I have terrible math anxiety, and when I first purchased my copy of the textbook, I was seriously asking myself what I was getting myself into. As the semester started out, I began to realize how easy the text was to read since it followed the lectures virtually word for word. The books self-teaching format was also easy to follow. No matter how confusing I thought a problem was, I could always figure it out by referring back to the previous section of the chapter to get clarification, and answers to my questions.Using this textbook is like having the instructor sitting next to you the whole time you are working from it. I wish that all math books made math as tangible and doable as this one. - Lauren Mirallegro, Student, Saddleback College-------------------Statistics and Probability theory by Howard Dachslager is indeed the best math book Ive ever studied from. When Im studying from this book, it feels like Ive hired a tutor because every problem is shown step-by-step. I just love how the book matches its example problems with practice problems because when I run into practice problems I dont understand, I can always rely on going back to the example problems. With this book in hand, I dont think anyone really needs to go to class to learn statistics because the book is so easy to comprehend and learn from.To be honest, if you own this book, you will definitely find it easy and fun.- Tina Chen, Student Irvine Valley College

Preface
How to Use this Book
This book is designed to tutor the reader in a first course study of statistics and probability theory. It covers all the major topics. Each topic is covered by several lessons. For each lesson, the reader is presented with exercises as examples and problems. For each example, its solution is worked out step by step in detail. Following the examples, solved problems that mimic the examples are also worked out in similar detail. Finally to test the readers understanding, unsolved problems that mimic the examples as well as the solved problems are presented with answers. At the end of each lesson, a set of supplementary problems is given. These problems are more challenging then those in the main body of the tutorial. Detailed solutions of the unsolved problems and supplementary problems can be found in the solution manual.
To see how the tutorial works, let us look at a section of this book. In the book, turn to page 47, (copied below). We see that this example comes with a solution.
Next go to the bottom of page 47 for (copied below). We see that this example comes with a solution (top of page 48).
Note that are same type of problems and have the same type of solutions.
Next go to page 48 for . The line

reminds the reader to go back to to help in solving the unsolved problem.
Throughout the entire book we use this tutorial method for each example and associated problems.
Why Study Statistics?
Statistics is used to bring meaningful relationships between data and events. The subject can be divided into three areas of study:
Descriptive Statistics
Probability Theory
Inference Theory
We begin this discussion, using examples, to show what statistics can do and finish with examples to show what statistics cannot do.
What Statistics Can Do.
Descriptive Statistics
The application of descriptive statistics to data is extensively used in data collection and applications.
Example: Ms Smith teaches a class in Ancient Greek history at a local senior center. To get a better understanding of her students, she has them fill out a questionnaire about their personal and academic background. Questions such as the students age, gender, income, and academic background are asked. This information will be organized in a way to give Ms. Smith a better understanding of her students.
Example: Mr. Fuente is the track coach at a local high school. At the beginning of each academic year, he has several male and female students try out for the varsity teams. To qualify, the students first need to complete a background questionnaire of themselves and make several runs on the track to determine their speed and endurance at different distances. All the information about the students is collected, organized and evaluated. From this data, students will be selected to participate on the varsity team.
Probability Theory
The tools of probability theory can be used to show and interpret interesting relationships between several events.
Example: On the evening weather news, it was reported that there is a 60 percent chance that it will rain over the weekend. Several questions can be raised about this forecast:
1. How did this number come about?
2. What exactly does 60 percent mean?
Probability theory will help in answering these types of questions.
Example: Mr. Jones is playing a card game. His hand has one king. To win he needs to draw two more kings. What are his chances?
Questions like this are not hard to answer when tools of probability theory are properly applied.
Example: According to a recent study, 7.0% of the population has a lung disease. Of those people that have lung disease, 90% smoke. Suppose a person who smokes is selected at random from the population. Can we conclude that there is a 90% chance that he or she will have a lung disease?
Most people would conclude there is a 90% chance or at least a very high chance that the person selected will have a lung disease. Proper use of probability theory will show this not to be the case. In fact one can show the chance is significantly less than 90%.
Inference Theory
Inference theory is nothing more than drawing certain conclusions about a large population from samples taken from this population. Perhaps proper application of inference theory is the most important discipline of statistics.
Example: The president of a local chamber of commerce wants to find out the opinions of Orange county residents on the building of a new shopping center. Since asking all the residents is not possible, he takes a sample of 200 residents at random and finds that 52% would support the new shopping center. From this poll several questions could be raised:
1. Can he conclude from the results of the sample that 52% of all residents are in support of a new shopping center?
