Course Objectives In addition to some tools for classification, summarization and making sense of data, to provide students with basic probability knowledge and certain probability distributions
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Upon completing of the course, students are expected to: 1- learn how to organize a set of data 2- be able to summarize the data by using the measures of central tendency and dispersion 3- calculate the probability with the assistance of basic concept of probability including some counting techniques, permutations and combinations 4- have the ability to use conditional probability, Bayesian approach and statistically independency within probability problems 5- be able to calculate the mean and standard deviation with expected value concept by understanding the difference between discrete and continuous random variables, 6- have the ability to use some probability distributions such as binomial and normal probability functions.
Course Content Basic definitions, tables and graphs, central tendency measures, central dispersion measures, probability concept, conditional probability, Bayesian approach, random variables, expected value, binomial and normal distributions.
