PURPOSE To impart analytical ability in solving mathematical problems as applied to the respective
branches of engineering
INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES STUDENT
OUTCOMES
At the end of the course, student will be able to
1. To apply the basic rules and theorems of probability theory such as Baye‟s a e
Theorem, to determine probabilities that help to solve engineering problems
and to determine the expectation and variance of a random variable from its
distribution.
2. To appropriately choose, define and/or derive probability distributions such
as the Binomial, Poisson and Normal etc to model and solve engineering a e
problems.
3. To learn how to formulate and test hypotheses about means, variances and a e
proportions and to draw conclusions based on the results of statistical tests.
4. To understand how regression analysis can be used to develop an equation a e
that estimates how two variables are related and how the analysis of variance
procedure can be used to determine if means of more than two populations
are equal.
5. To understand the fundamentals of quality control and the methods used to a e
control systems and processes.
