"Principles of Statistics for Engineers and Scientists" by William Navidi

This book offers the crystal clear presentation of applied statistics in a manner especially designed for the needs of a one-semester course that is focused on applications. The book is great for motivating students to understand the importance of statistics in their careers and their lives.

The text features a unique approach highlighted by an engaging writing style that explains difficult concepts clearly and the use of contemporary real world data sets to help motivate students and show direct connections to industry and research. While focusing on practical applications of statistics, the text makes extensive use of examples to motivate fundamental concepts and to develop intuition.
While the fundamental principles of statistics are common to all disciplines, students in science and engineering learn best from examples that present important ideas in realistic settings.
Accordingly, the book contains many examples that feature real, contemporary data sets, both to motivate students and to show connections to industry and scientific research.
