as well as students of statistics in variousinstitutions in this eountry for giving it such a warm reception.  \nIn this edition the general pattern of the book has been kept intact lowever,we have included a new chapter on StatisticalQuality Control at the request of both students and teachers.Againthe chapter on Analysis of Variance has been slightly enlarged,andwe hope it would look more self-containedin its present form,At theame time,errors that came to our notice have been removed andminor afterationt made here and there to make the exposition ntorelucid,A number of typieal theoretical questions have been added inthe Exereises,  \nIt is a pleasure to put on record the asistanee rendered by oureolleague,Mr S.P,Mukherjee,in the preparation of this edition.And,as the reader

ADZons  \nPRETACE TO THE FIRST EDITION  \nQuite a number of textbooks o statistics are now available in themarket.When a new book that covers no new ground is beingbrought out,an explanation might seem due for its autlors.-Wehave been mainly guided by the consideration that books on statisticsavailable to the Indian student are mostly the works of foreignauthors,written principally witbh an eye to the curricula of theuniversities to which they belong.Litle wonder the Indian studentfinds that these give cither too much or toolitle.Besides,a majorityof them called for mathematical eqpipment on the part of the readerwhich the avernge Indian student of statistics fas fad noopportunityto acquire.Dcing acqualnted witla his intellectual background andalso wlth tlie curricula of Indian universitics,we think we are in abetter position to write a book specially suited to his needs,  \nWe have kept in view particularly the requirements of statisticsPass students and also of students of matheinaties,economics andeommerce who have statistics as part of their syflabi nt both under-graduate and post-gradaate levels in many of our universities.Perhaps the book wil be able to cater for a much wider cirele ofrendersfor researcl workers,in particular,who are relying moreand more on statistical methods in their investigations,  \nIt has been assumed that the student's mathematical knowledgedoes not go beyond the School Final level,and the use of mathe-matics has,therefore,been kept to the minimum.Sone additionalmathematical concepts are,however,absolutely essential to thetnderstanding of statistical metluods.These have been briefly dealtwith in Part One of the book.The theory of probability formsthe very basis ofstatistical rmethods,and,zhezefore,it is proper that atreatment of this theory sbould also be includedThis has been donein Part One which comprises the eommonly used interpolationformulae as well.The main body of the book is Part Two whichgives in quite an exhaustive manner the things that every student ofstatistices,worth the name,should know.It nay be seen that themethods presented here may be aplied to a wide variety of fields.  \nx  \nSome specific field ofenquiry may,however,require for the solutionof","cbCaiivv4839uYW3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiivv4839uYW3","pdf",7362504,437,"English","# Preface to the Second Edition\n# Preface to
