| General note | A First Course in Probability offers an elementary introduction to the theory of probability for students in mathematics, statistics, engineering, and the sciences. Through clear and intuitive explanations, it attempts to present not only the mathematics of probability theory, but also the many diverse possible applications of this subject through numerous examples. The 10th Edition includes many new and updated problems, exercises, and text material chosen both for inherent interest and for use in building student intuition about probability.•Analysis is unique to the text and elegantly designed. Examples include the knockout tournament and multiple players gambling ruin problem, along with results concerning the sum of uniform and the sum of geometric random variables.<br/><br/>Features<br/><br/>•Intuitive explanations are supported with an abundance of examples to give readers a thorough introduction to both the theory and applications of probability.<br/><br/>•Three sets of exercises are given at the end of each chapter: Problems, Theoretical Exercises, and Self-Test Problems and Exercises.<br/><br/>•New - Streamlined exposition focuses on clarity and deeper understanding.<br/><br/>•Many new and updated problems and exercises.<br/><br/>•New - Examples such as Example 4n of Chapter 3, which deals with computing NCAA basketball tournament win probabilities, and Example 5b of Chapter 4, which introduces the friendship paradox.<br/><br/>•New - Material on the Pareto distribution, on Poisson limit results, and on the Lorenz curve. |
