Statistics TECH 1303

Course description:

This course will cover the following statistics topics: Statistics Basics - Simple Random Sampling - Other Sampling Designs- Experimental Designs - Organizing Data - Descriptive Measures – Probability - Random Variables and Sampling Distributions - Discrete Random Variables.

Course Aims:

This course aims to enable the student to:
  • Understand sampling distributions of sample means and sample proportions.
  • Estimate a population mean and a population proportion from a sample.
  • Compute simple probabilities of events.
  • Distinguish marginal, joint, and conditional probabilities. 
  • Understand and apply the concept of independence of events.

Course outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to:
  • Compute probabilities by modeling sample spaces.
  • Apply rules of permutations and combinations.
  • Apply additive and multiplicative laws and conditional probability.
  • Compute probabilities based on practical situations using the binomial and normal distributions.
