Prerequisite

ST101

Overview

  • This course aims to broaden the student's perceptions of the distinction between probability distributions and their applications.
  • Study the terms and concepts related to special probability distributions.
  • Recognize the concept of confidence intervals for mean and ratio and use them for a sample or for the difference between two samples.
  • Identify hypothesis tests for the mean and ratio and use them, whether for one sample or for the difference between two samples.
