Instructor Solution Manual


This instructor solution manual to accompany the third edition of

“Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists” by Anthony Hayter

provides worked solutions and answers to all of the problems given in the textbook. The student
solution manual provides worked solutions and answers to only the odd-numbered problems
given at the end of the chapter sections. In addition to the material contained in the student
solution manual, this instructor manual therefore provides worked solutions and answers to
the even-numbered problems given at the end of the chapter sections together with all of the
supplementary problems at the end of each chapter.
