Albright (Concordia U., Nebraska) developed this textbook from his notes for a hybrid class for mathematics majors who needed more than an elementary statistics course but not as much theory as a traditional mathematical statistics course. It introduces probability and statistic to math, engineering, and science majors who may have no prior knowledge of either field, but must have completed Calculus I and II. The topics are basics of probability, discrete and continuous random variables, statistics, hypothesis testing, simple regression, and nonparametric statistics.
