Dersin Amaç ve İçeriği

Course Objectives:

Topics in probability and statistics are introduced through their definitions leading to the development of basic probabilistic and statistical tools. Emphasis is placed on using these tools to solve engineering problems and to make informed decisions.

Course Content:

The course will cover the following topics:
Counting and probability (both theoretical and experimental definitions);
Rules of probability (based on set theory); conditional probability;
The random variable; probability mass functions and density functions;
Expectation values; sampling theory (mean and standard deviation); hypothesis testing;
Confidence intervals (for the population mean, population standard deviation).
