The book consists of eight chapters, which covers the fundamentals of probability and statistics. In the first five chapters, that is, The Concepts of Probability, Random Variables and Distributions, Multivariate Distribution, Numerical Characteristics of Random Variables, Law of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorems, we introduce some elementary probability concepts, indicate how probabilities
