  5. Probabilityhas many applications in many areas • Medicine • Modeling epidemics • Modeling disease progression • Engineering • Reliability design electrical systems • Economics • Modeling of financial time series, economic time series • Determining Risk

  6. Statistics

  7. What is Statistics? It is the major mathematical tool of scientific inference – methods for drawing conclusion from data. Data that is to some extent corrupted by some component of random variation (random noise)

  8. Phenomena Non-deterministic Deterministic

  9. Deterministic Phenomena A mathematical model exists that allows accurate prediction of outcomes of the phenomena (or observations taken from the phenomena)

  10. Non-deterministic Phenomena Lack of perfect predictability

  11. Non-deterministic Phenomena Random haphazard

  12. Random Phenomena No mathematical model exists that allows accurate prediction of outcomes of the phenomena (or observations) However the outcomes (or observations) exhibit in the long run on the average statistical regularity

  13. In both Statistics and Probability theory we are concerned with studying random phenomena

  14. In probability theory The model is known and we are interested in predicting the outcomes and observations of the phenomena. outcomes and observations model

  15. In statistics The model is unknown the outcomes and observations of the phenomena have been observed. We are interested in determining the model from the observations outcomes and observations model

  16. Example - Probability A coin is tossed n = 100 times We are interested in the observation, X, the number of times the coin is a head. Assuming the coin is balanced (i.e. p = the probability of a head = ½.)

  17. Example - Statistics We are interested in the success rate, p, of a new surgical procedure. The procedure is performed n = 100 times. X, the number of successful times the procedure is performed is 82. The success rate p is unknown.

  18. If the success rate p was known. Then This equation allows us to predict the value of the observation, X.

  19. In the case when the success rate p was unknown. Then the following equation is still true the success rate We will want to use the value of the observation, X = 82 to make a decision regarding the value of p.

  20. Introductory Statistics Courses Non calculus BasedStats 244.3 Stats 245.3Calculus Based Stats 242.3

  21. Stats 244.3 Statistical concepts and techniques including graphing of distributions, measures of location and variability, measures of association, regression, probability, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing. Students should consult with their department before enrolling in this course to determine the status of this course in their program.Prerequisite(s):A course in a social science or Mathematics A30. 

  22. Stats 245.3An introduction to basic statistical methods including frequency distributions, elementary probability, confidence intervals and tests of significance, analysis of variance, regression and correlation, contingency tables, goodness of fit. Prerequisite(s):MATH 100, 101, 102, 110 or STAT 103.

  23. Stats 242.3Sampling theory, estimation, confidence intervals, testing hypotheses, goodness of fit, analysis of variance, regression and correlation. Prerequisite(s):MATH 110, 116 and STAT 241.

  24. Stats 244 and 245 • do not require a calculus prerequisite • are Recipe courses Stats 242 • does require calculus and probability (Stats 241) as a prerequisite • More theoretical class – You learn techniques for developing statistical procedures and thoroughly investigating the properties of these procedures
