Since the publication of the popular first edition of this comprehensive textbook, the contributed R packages on CRAN have increased from around 1,000 to over 6,000. Designed for an intermediate undergraduate course, Probability and Statistics with R, Second Edition explores how some of these new packages make analysis easier and more intuitive as well as create more visually pleasing graphs.

New to the Second Edition
Improvements to existing examples, problems, concepts, data, and functionsNew examples and exercises that use the most modern functions Coverage probability of a confidence interval and model validationHighlighted R code for calculations and graph creation
Gets Students Up to Date on Practical Statistical Topics

Keeping pace with today's statistical landscape, this textbook expands your students' knowledge of the practice of statistics. It effectively links statistical concepts with R procedures, empowering students to solve a vast array of real statistical problems with R.
