A Really Good Book

Actually, I really like this book. I realised that it can be used as a text itself. It can used with advanced probability and math stats courses or in graduated courses. I highly recommend this book.

Great collection of problems, but with some problems

I am enjoying working through this book. Each section contains several worked examples, and problems, which supposedly correlate with the examples. In several situations, though, there is a simpler solution than following the example. Unfortunately, this is only one of several problems. For instance: * Asks that you prove a statement, which is usually false (A'B u B'A = A' n B'). Only one found so far. * Some solutions...

Challenging probability and statistics problems

Sveshnikov gives a very brief introduction to each topic, with definitions and formulae presented without proofs, followed by a couple of worked examples, and a couple pages of problems. Answers to all problems are in the back, making it ideal for self-study. If you have not studied any statistics before, you might want to start with a book that gives more explanation, such as Bulmer, "Principles of Statistics." This book...

A most useful compilation

Instructors and students alike will find here a real treasure of exercises in probability and statistics. A broad range of topics is covered. Solutions for typical examples are provided at the start of each section. Apart from the more than 1000 problems (the answers and solutions to all of which are provided at the back), the book contains problems both simple and challenging. I personally found some of the latter most fascinating...
