The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, wherein 0 represents impossibility and 1 represents certainty. The higher the probability, it is more likely that the particular event will happen. Statistics deals with gathering, organizing, interpreting, analyzing, and presenting data. It is a common practice to start with a statistical model or statistical population to be researched when applying statistics to a scientific, social, or industrial problem. This book provides comprehensive insights into the fields of probability and statistics. It presents this complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language.
