Probability with Statistical Applications

This second edition textbook offers a practical introduction to probability for undergraduates at all levels with different backgrounds and views towards applications. Calculus is a prerequisite for understanding the basic concepts, however the book is written with a sensitivity to students’ common difficulties with calculus that does not obscure the thorough treatment of the probability content. The first six chapters of this text neatly and concisely cover the material traditionally required by most undergraduate programs for a first course in probability. The comprehensive text includes a multitude of new examples and exercises, and careful revisions throughout. Particular attention is given to the expansion of the last three chapters of the book with the addition of one entirely new chapter (9) on ’Finding and Comparing Estimators.’ The classroom-tested material presented in this second edition forms the basis for a second course introducing mathematical statistics.

The Job from Hell

The American workplace often provides no evidence of either a good God or any good in Man. The daily grind of our jobs and the caustic people we encounter there can be so disconnected from our Christian fellowship experience in church and so far removed from our Christian principles that we can easily grow cynical. The mounting evidence that God is disconnected and far removed from the reality of our workplace can cause all of us at times to question if it is possible to earn a living and do it as a Christian. Is this really how God intends for us to live? The Job from Hell addresses this real-life struggle of working-class Christians. For those who work in abusive environments where they are isolated from Christian fellowship and support, Marie Hebert shares her personal experiences of God's consolation, explanation, and revelation that supported her in her own daily journey in the workplace. In The Job from Hell, she offers a spiritual explanation as to why you may be locked in your current job as well as offering a daily, steady structure of support on which you can lean for the time that you are employed there.
