There is a large number of books covering probability and statistics. The list below is a small segment from what is available with some commentary.

John A. Rice, Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis, Third Edition, Brooks/Cole, 2006 A nice book to get started. It is not meant for economics students but it is not too mathematically demanding and covers most of what we will cover in class. The course will be structured around this book.

D.D. Wackerly, W. Mendenhall, R. L. Scheafer, Mathematical Statistics with Applications, Seventh Edition, Thomson, Brooks/Cole, 2008. A nice introductory course to statistics with nice examples and problems.

George. G. Roussas, A Course in Mathematical Statistics, Third Edition, Academic Press, 2012. A slightly more mathematically demanding but well organized and presented.

George Casella, Roger L. Berger, Statistical Inference, Duxbury Press, 2nd edition, 2001. A heavy going and demanding book for more ambitious students.
