Engineering Probability and Statistics - SE-205 -Chap 1 By S. O. Duffuaa
Course Objectives • Introduce the students to basic probability and statistics and demonstrate its wide application in the area of Systems Engineering.
Main Course Outcomes • Students should be able to perform: • Summarize and present data • Describe probability distributions • Compute probabilities using density/mass functions • Conduct interval estimation • Make inference about populations • Use statistical package/Minitab
Text Book and References • “Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers “ by D. C. Montgomery and Runger, 1994. • “Probability and Statistics for Engineers and Scientists” 5th by Walpole and Mayers. • Statistics by Murry Speigel
Course Policy • Home-works and attendance 15% • Quizzes 15% • Exam1 20% • Exam II 20% • Final Exam 30%
SE- 205 Place in SE Curriculum • Central Course • Prerequisite for 7 SE courses • SE 303, SE 320, SE 323, SE 325, SE 447, SE 480, SE 463 and may be others. See SE Curriculum Tree
Engineering Problem Solving • Develop clear and concise problem description • Identify the important factors in the problem. • Propose a model for the problem • Conduct appropriate experimentation • Refine the model
Engineering Problem Solving • Validate the solution • Conclusion and recommendations
Statistics • Science of data collection, summarization, presentation and analysis for decision making. • How to collect data ? • How to summarize it ? • How to present it ? • How do you analyze it and make conclusions and correct decisions ?
Role of Statistics • Many aspects of Engineering deals with data – Product and process design • Identify sources of variability • Essential for decision making
Data Collection • Observational study • Observe the system • Historical data • The objective is to build a system model usually called empirical models
Data Collection • Design of experiment • Plays key role in engineering design
Statistics • Divided into: • Descriptive Statistics • Inferential Statistics
Forms of Data Description • Point summary • Tabular format • Graphical format • Diagrams
Point Summary • Central tendency measures • Mean xi/n • Median --- Middle value • Mode --- Most frequent value
Point Summary • Variability measures • Range = Max xi - Min xi • Variance = V = (xi – x )2/ n-1 • Standard deviation = S S = Square root (V) • Coefficient of variation = S/ x
Dot Diagram • A diagram that has on the x-axis the points plotted : Given the following grades of a class: 50, 23, 40, 90, 95, 10, 80, 50, 75, 55, 60, 40. . . . . 0 50 100
