Applied Probability and Statistics

This document outlines the objectives and units of study for the course MA7155 Applied Probability and Statistics. The objectives are to introduce concepts of one-dimensional and two-dimensional random variables, estimation theory, correlation, regression, and multivariate normal distribution. The course is divided into five units which cover topics such as random variables and their distributions, joint and conditional distributions, estimation methods, hypothesis testing, and multivariate analysis. The overall goal is for students to acquire probabilistic and statistical techniques to solve engineering problems.
