Probability and Statistics for Engineers

The use of probability models and statistical methods for analysing data has become common practice in virtually all scientific disciplines. This Module aims to introduce to students the principles of probability and statistics; probability and random variables; discrete and continuous densities and distribution functions; expectation and variance; normal (Gaussian), binomial and Poisson distributions; statistical estimation and hypothesis testing; method of least squares, correlation and regression. The emphasis is on statistics and quality control methods for engineers.
