Course Description This course is an introduction to the probability theory and statistical
inference for undergraduates in engineering and the sciences. This course attempts to provide
basic concepts of set theory, central tendency, dispersion and different approaches of
conceptualizing probability. It discusses useful laws of probability, Bayes rule, random variables
and their distribution. It also covers discussions on certain operators like mathematical
expectation, variance of random variables and probability distributions such as Binomial,
Geometric, Negative Binomial, Poisson, Uniform, Normal, Exponential and their applications. It
focuses on sampling distribution, single mean test and preliminary ideas on test of hypothesis.

Course Objectives: 1. To apply basic concepts of sets, sample space and randomness of data.
2. To acquaint students with probability and its laws.
3. To develop skills on probability and sampling distributions.
4. To analyze generating functions and its application in real life data.
5. To make familiar with hypothesis test and decision making troubleshoot.
