Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: The course aims to teach the concepts and ideas about statistics and probability, to establish meaningful relationships between these concepts and ideas, to develop statistical thinking and reasoning skills.
Course Content: The content of the course consists of sample space, probability, conditional probability, counting, combinatorics, discrete/continuous random variables, conditioning, independence, expectation, variance, covariance, Bayesian inference, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and linear regression.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Understand and apply basic concepts of probability (sample spaces, counting, etc.), the mathematical descriptions of random variables and distribution functions.
2) Comprehends widely used random variables (such as Uniform, Gaussian, Poisson, etc.).
3) Compute the moments of random variables including the mean and variance.
4) Characterize multiple random variables using joint distribution functions.
5) Understand the law of large numbers and the central limit theorem.
6) Use statistical concepts and tools to interpret engineering data.
