N2  - The book attempts to help the readers understand the more advanced concepts of probability and statistics. The various theories in both disciplines are given an in-depth look. Current and proposed research on new methodologies and their applications at a practical level are discussed as well. Students in these disciplines will find the various case studies and researches mentioned in the book helpful in furthering their interest in these fields
