Course Objectives
At the end of this course the students will be able to:
- analyze and interpret large scale data,
- apply probability theory and statistics to handle uncertainty,
- infer facts and relationships from collected data, and
- construct simulations by sampling from arbitrary distributions
The course will provide the students the ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; therefore supporting the corresponding student outcome.
Course Content
Introduction to probability. Discrete and continuous random variables and their distributions. Simulations of random variables. Descriptive statistics. Statistical inference. Regression. Monte Carlo methods. Stochastic processes. Queuing systems.
Prerequisite: MATH 120
