Statistics and Probability for Engineers. 2 credits, 2 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: MATH 112 with a grade of C or better. This course introduces methods of summarizing and analyzing engineering data and the importance of observing processes over time such as control charts. Descriptive statistics, plots and diagrams are then used to summarize the data. Elements of probability and random variables with their distributions along with mean and variance are taught. All this knowledge is then used as a platform towards covering how to do basic estimation and inference, including confidence intervals and hypothesis testing based on a single sample. Students taking this course cannot receive degree credit for MATH 225 , MATH 244 , or MATH 333 .
