Probability and Statistics for Engineers I
Instructor: Dr. Abeer Yasin
Course Duration: 4 months
Course Description:
Statistics is the science that is concerned with the different methods for collecting data and observations and organizes or displays such data using a number of methods for further analyses. Data provide the basis for many of the decisions made in our world, therefore the need for the appropriate tools for analysis of such data.
Statistics is closely tided with different fields of science such as mathematics, science, social sciences, sociology and human studies, medial sciences, engineering, as well as biology and genetics. Statisticians focus on samples of data concerning human activities and matters related to mankind hence the importance in the use of statistics at all times and all places.
Probability and Statistics for Engineers part I will introduce engineering students to the use of statistics in solving engineering problems in everyday life. Throughout the course, students will acquire statistical skills needed to collect, display and analyze data for further understanding of the nature of data and the model they therefore represent. The course places emphasis on graphical techniques such as stem-and-leaf plots, box plots and scatter plots to summarize data and display existing patterns. Later, the course will focus heavily on probability, random sampling and probability distributions of discrete, continuous and multivariate nature and their application in the engineering field.
Learning Outcomes:
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:
Define statistics and its importance in the engineering industry
Understand the different types of data used in statistics
Distinguish between the various statistical tools used to display data and determine the appropriate use of each.
Acquire the statistical tools needed to calculate measures of central tendency and measure of dispersion.
Define a random distribution its relationship to probability
Distinguish between discrete random variables and continuous random variables and determine the situation when each applies to an engineering problem
Lessons:
Lesson 1: Data collection, display and analysis
Lesson 1 will introduce the student to methods used in collecting data, types of data, tables, graphs and charts used to display data. Analysis of data is done using the cause and effect diagram, stem and leaf plot, histogram, box plot and the inter-quartile range, scatter plot and time series chart. More refined tools are then used for further analysis and understanding of the nature of data collected. These tools include measure of central tendency and measures of dispersion.
Lesson2: From Data Tables to Discrete Probability
This lesson will focus on the definition of events, sample spaces and probability. Functions on events such as union and intersection, complementary events, the additive rule and mutually exclusive events, conditional probability, the multiplicative probability and independent events will be discussed in detail with appropriate applications to engineering. Random sampling will be discussed in further details as a method of collection of unbiased data.
Lesson 3: Discrete Probability Distributions
Lesson 3 will discuss in great details random variables and their probability distributions as well as their expected values (the mean). Various examples of discrete probability distributions such as the Bernoulli distribution, the geometric distribution, the negative binomial distribution, the Poisson distribution and the hyper-geometric distribution, will be discussed in further details.
Lesson 4: Continuous Probability Distribution
In lesson 4 continuous random variables, their probabilities and expected values will be demonstrated. Various examples of continuous probability distributions such as the uniform distribution, the exponential distribution, the Gamma distribution, the normal distribution and the beta distribution will be discussed in further details.
Lesson 5: Multivariate Probability Distributions
Lesson 5 discusses in greater details bivariate and marginal probability distributions, conditional probability distributions, independent random variables, expected values of functions of random variables, the multinomial distribution and the moment generating function.
