Quality Engineering Statistics Robert A. Dovich. 1992. ASQ Quality Press (http://www.qualitypress. asq.org). Ill pages. ISBN: 0- 87389-141-4
If readers want to know how to "do the math," this book addresses that. It assumes readers have already collected their data and know how they will analyze the results. As it says in its brief preface, it is a book intended to provide "quality engineers and other professionals with a handy reference to many statistical formulas and techniques." Its chapters are entitled:
* Point Estimates (which includes standard deviation)
* Confidence Intervals
* Testing for Differences in Means
* Testing for Differences in Variances
* Decision Errors and Risks in Hypothesis Testing
* Continuous Probability Distributions
* Goodness-of-Fit Tests
* Sample Size Determination of Tests of Hypotheses
* Analysis of Variance
* Tables (for example, distributions, chi-square, median rank values, constants, gamma function)
This book is not an overall introduction to statistics and data analysis; it is a handbook of statistical calculations and related tables.
