Required Text:
Probability & Statistics for Engineers and Scientists, 8th Edition
Authors: Walpole, Myers, Myers and Ye
Publisher: Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ 07458 – ISBN: 0-13-187711-9

Reference Books:
1. Statistics for Engineers and Scientists by William Navidi, Third Edition.
2. Applied Statistics And Probability for Engineering by D. C. Montgomery and G.
C. Runger, 6th Edition. Publisher: Wiley.

Course Outcomes:
• Understand basic concepts in probability including combinatorics, independence,
conditional probability and Bayes rule.
• Solve basic problems arising in engineering that involve discrete and continuos
probability distributions.
• Use statistical concepts such as means, variances and various types of graphs to
analyze datasets using computational software such as MATLAB.
• Understand confidence intervals and perform statistical inference such as
hypothesis testing and regression.

Exams:
• Please make sure you have no conflicts with the exam dates shown in the weekly
chart at the end of this syllabus. Make up exams will be administered only for
exceptional circumstances. If you find out you will miss an exam, let the instructor
know as soon as possible.
• Exams will be closed book. Calculators can be used but no laptops/Cell-phones
allowed.
• The final exam will be comprehensive.
• In all exams, you will be responsible for ALL material covered in class and required
readings. Please do NOT study for the exams only from the homework questions.

Assignments / Project:
• Assignments /Project will be handed out in class. Do NOT bring your homework to
class to give to the instructor. Make sure to drop your homework to CR. The
instructor will not be responsible for tracking down misplaced homeworks.
• No late homework will be accepted unless permission is granted by the instructor
PRIOR to the deadline.
• Some assignments will involve computational questions to be solved with MATLAB.
These will generally include working with datasets to make statistical computations
such as computing means, variances, etc. Students should have basic proficiency
with MATLAB.

Course topics:
You will find a chart included in this syllabus that summarizes the weekly topics and
required readings from the textbook. While we will strive to stay on track with this
schedule, students should be aware that we might go slightly faster or fall behind
depending on circumstances. We might make some minor changes to the course
topics during the semester. We will post more updated required textbook readings on
the class web site. It is strongly suggested that you read the material from the textbook
prior to the lecture to be better prepared.

Cheating Policy:
• Students are expected to pursue the highest standards of academic honesty in all
assignments and examinations. Don’t cheat! The following rules apply to this class:
o Copying someone else’s work on an exam is considered cheating. Don’t pass
any papers to anyone for any reason during the exam. Do NOT sit near your
study partners during the exam.
o Copying someone else’s work on a homework is considered cheating.
Copying from a webpage or other source without giving a reference is
considered plagiarism which is a form of cheating. You are encouraged to
discuss homework problems with each other, but the written work you turn
in must be original and your own.

Grading:
• Distribution of points:
o Assignment = 10 %
o Project = 15 %
o midterms = 25 %
o Final exam = 50 %
