Description :

The second edition of Volume I of the book has gone through a substantial revision. Most parts have been re-written and/or rearranged to bring clar- ity. In some cases, more relevant examples are used. Consequently, the old Volume I now comes in two volumes. Volume I deals with the basic mathematical tools for the understanding of probability, basic probability concepts, probability calculus, laws and the orems in probability, random variables and probability distributions. Deter- mination of central and non-central location of distributions as well as their spread are extensively discussed. The volume concludes with discussion of moments and moment-generating functions. Volume II discusses special probability distributions, namely, Bernoulli Distribution, Binomial Distribution, Geometric Distribution, Negative Bino- mial Distribution, Poisson Distribution, Hypergeometric Distribution, Multi- nomial Distribution, Uniform Distribution, Exponential Distribution, Gamma Distribution, Beta Distribution and Normal Distribution. The extension of univariate random variable to multivariate random variables with emphasis on Bivariate Distributions, and also Statistical In- equalities, Limit Laws and Sampling Distributions are in another e-book entitled "Advanced Topics in Basic Probability Theory". While the typesetting was done by myself, the images were produced by Mr Joshua Appiah, a former staff of mine at Kumasi Technical University, where I was their Interim Vice Chancellor..
