| Course Description | This course provides a comprehensive introduction to probability theory and its applications to engineering. The following topics are covered: definition and rules of probability; random variables and uncertainty, expected value, variance and standard deviation of a probability distribution; discrete probability distributions: the Bernoulli, Binomial, geometric and Poisson distributions; continuous probability distributions: the uniform, exponential and normal distributions; multivariate probability distributions, covariance and correlation; descriptive statistics; sampling and sampling distributions; estimation and confidence interval; hypothesis testing; simple regression. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) Describe fundamentals of probability and statistics; 2) Analyze discrete and continuous probability distributions; 3) Apply statistical methods to solve engineering problems. |
