It provides an Introduction to elementary probability theory and stochastic processes, and shows how probability theory can be applied to the study of phenomena in fields such as engineering, computer science, management science, the physical and social sciences, and operations research. With the addition of several new sections relating to actuaries, this text is highly recommended by the Society of Actuaries. The tenth edition contains several sections covered in the new exams."--BOOK JACKET UR - http://www.worldcat.org/title/introduction-to-probability-models/oclc/444116127&referer=brief_results UR - http://lib.ewubd.edu/ebook/7300 ER -
