About the Book

Wackerly/Chen/Loy’s “Mathematical Statistics with Applications” 8th Edition, with WebAssign, builds a solid foundation in statistical theory while conveying its relevance in solving practical problems in the real world. You'll discover the nature of statistics and understand its essential role in scientific research. The focused approach emphasizes the connectivity of key concepts with statistical inference being the primary theme. The new edition offers enhanced insights and cutting-edge knowledge on theory and applications of statistics today, including new methodologies in data science, statistical learning and biostatistics.
