Statistics today has become indispensable for every human activity that may be agriculture, business marketing, natural sciences, commerce, arts, engineering etc.
Under globalization, the importance of statistics has been increased tremendously and therefore for under graduate studies viz. Agriculture, food science, agriculture engineering, medical sciences, commerce, business management, statistics course has been made compulsory. Statistics being more based on mathematics, it is necessary to understand the basic principles. In this book efforts were made to simplify the statistical methods in simple language with examples.
The different chapters are arranged in such a way so that reader gets new knowledge by reading chapter one after another. Most of the topics of syllabus of undergraduate courses have been covered. The statistical methods and designs of experiments are very useful not only for students but for undertaking research work / project post graduation of ICAR/ private research institutes. Necessary tables and figures have been given for clarity of the subject. (jacket)
