Course Description

Topics in probability include discrete and continuous random variables, probability distributions, sums and functions of random variables. Topics in statistics include sample mean and variance, distributions, regression and hypothesis testing.

Course Objectives

This course is designed for engineering students to enrich them in probability theory and  to use of probability tools for statistical inference in engineering problems

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon succesful completion of the course students are expected to

1.  know probability theory for both discrete and continuous random variables.
2.  know many applications of probability theory
3. learn how to use probability theory for many problems
4. use probability theory they will able to make statistical inference for many engineering problems
