b) know various estimation techniques and their respective strengths and weaknesses;
c) be able to formulate analytical models to perform both parametric and non-parametric hypothesis
tests;
d) be able to understand and analyze statistics in polling and yield management applications;
e) be able to perform regression analysis and think critically about regression models;
f) know the fundamentals of quality control models
