PART G
obability,Statistics
Probability theory (Chap. 24) provides models of probability distributions (theoretical models of the observable reality involving chance effects) to be tested by statistical methods, and it will also supply the mathematical foundation of these methods in Chap. 25.
Modern mathematical statistics (Chap. 25) has various engineering applications, for instance, in testing materials, control of production processes, quality control of production outputs, performance tests of systems, robotics, and automatization in general, production planning, marketing analysis, and so on.
To this we could add a long list of fields of applications, for instance, in agriculture, biology, computer science, demography, economics, geography, management of natural resources, medicine, meteorology, politics, psychology, sociology, traffic control, urban planning, etc. Although these applications are very heterogeneous, we shall see that most statistical methods are universal in the sense that each of them can be applied in various fields.
