Probability and Statistics is a mathematical discipline which studies stochastic phenomena. Now it is widely used in industry, economics, science and technologies. This course is one of the important basic courses for engineering majors in comprehensive universities. The textbook will include the general conceptions and methods about probability and statistics. The main topics are as the following. Basic probability concepts; Random experiment; Sample spaces; Rules of probability; Counting techniques; Conditional probability; Independence. Discrete and continuous random variables. Sampling methods, Descriptive Statistics, Sampling distributions, The Student-t distribution, F-distribution and Chi-Square distribution, Point estimation. Confidence intervals. Testing hypotheses. Statistical software like Excel and/or Matlab will be used.
