Hello All,

Does anybody have any suggestions for a good textbook on probability and statistics for someone who's studying Electrical Engineering?

I follow a distance learning program but not always they use real good books so I like to buy extra books sometimes for the sake of extra material on the subject and for fun. I do the same with calculus and it really helps me out.

Thanks in advance

I like Papoulistitle something like Random Variables, Probability, Statistics. This text was used in the graduate electrical engineering program in two engineering schools that I took courses from. Another good book is by Leon-Garcia
