COURSE OBJECTIVE:

This course introduces fundamental concepts in Statistics and Probability to engineering

students. Statistics and probability are two important sciences for dealing with variability,
uncertainty and complexity in engineering, business, and many real-life applications. This
course will provide students with a balanced presentation of introductory mathematical
foundations and applications of statistics and probability with emphasis on data analysis
and inference. Care has been taken in developing theoretical foundations of statistical and
probabilistic techniques with emphasis on simple engineering applications.

COURSE OUTLINE:

Descriptive Statistics:
Basic definitions, measures of central tendency and variation, z-scores, frequency
distribution, graphical representation of data, symmetry and skewness, quintiles
(percentiles, deciles and quartiles).Linear regression models and correlation coefficient.
Probability theory: Basic definitions and rules of probability, conditional probability,
counting techniques.
Random variable: Concept of random variable, discrete and continuous random variable.
Discrete and continuous probability distributions: Uniform, binomial, multinomial, negative
binomial, geometric, Poisson, Normal; normal approximation and exponential distributions
and their applications.
Inferential Statistics:
Estimation of parameters such as mean and variance. Sampling distribution of mean, t-
distribution and sampling procedures. z-test, t-test and goodness of fit test.
