How To: Textbook Rental

Looking to rent a book? Rent Introduction to Mathematical Statistics, Books a la Carte Edition [ISBN: 9780134689135] for the semester, quarter, and short term or search our site for other textbooks by Hogg, Robert V.; McKean, Joseph W.; Craig, Allen T.. Renting a textbook can save you up to 90% from the cost of buying.

Summary

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. For Books a la Carte editions that include MyLab™ or Mastering™, several versions may exist for each title–including customized versions for individual schools–and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab or Mastering platforms.


For courses in mathematical statistics.


Comprehensive coverage of mathematical statistics – with a proven approach

Introduction to Mathematical Statistics by Hogg, McKean, and Craig enhances student comprehension and retention with numerous, illustrative examples and exercises. Classical statistical inference procedures in estimation and testing are explored extensively, and the text’s flexible organization makes it ideal for a range of mathematical statistics courses.


Substantial changes to the 8th Edition – many based on user feedback – help students appreciate the connection between statistical theory and statistical practice, while other changes enhance the development and discussion of the statistical theory presented.
