This document outlines the course details for FCM 2063: Probability and Statistics, a 3-credit course offered in the May 2015 semester. The course introduces key concepts in probability and statistics through 4 parts: descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, design of experiments, and probability distributions. It will be taught through lectures, tutorials, assignments, quizzes and tests over 15 weeks. Students will learn data analysis techniques, draw conclusions from samples, conduct experiments, and develop probability tools for statistical inference. Their performance will be evaluated through coursework, tests, and a final exam.

SYNOPSIS:
This course is an introduction to Probability and Statistics for engineering with four major
areas:
Part I : Descriptive Statistics
Part II : Inferential Statistics
Part III : Design of Experiment and Factorial Design
Part IV: Probability and Distributions
Effective Date: 18/5/2015 1

2. OBJECTIVES:
Upon the completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:
1. Analyze data from engineering and science.
2. Organize, summarize and present data by using graphical techniques (Part I).
3. Draw conclusions about characteristics of population based on sample data by
using suitable techniques (Part II).
4. Conduct engineering experiment involving two factors, analyze and interpret
effects (Part III)
5. Develop the probability based tools that will be used in statistical inference
(Part IV).
