MA1259 PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS 3 1 0 100
AIM:
The scope of probability and statistics in engineering applications is well known. This course aims at providing the requisite skill to apply the statistical tools in engineering problem.
OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the course, the students would
• Have a fundamental knowledge of the basic probability concepts.
• Have a well – founded knowledge of standard distributions which can describe real life phenomena.
• Acquire skills in handling situations involving more than one random variable and functions of random variables.
• Be introduced to the notion of sampling distributions and have acquired knowledge of statistical techniques useful in making rational decision in management problems.
• Be exposed to statistical methods designed to
contribute to the process of making scientific judgments in the face of uncertainty and variation.
UNIT I PROBABILITY AND RANDOM VARIABLE 9 +3
