MA17353 PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS L T P C
Common to Chemical, Biotech, BME & IT 3 2 0 4

OBJECTIVE
• To provide the required skill to apply the statistical tools in Engineering problems.

UNIT I ONE – DIMENSIONAL RANDOM VARIABLE 15
Discrete and continuous random variables – Moments – Moment generating functions – Binomial,
Poisson, Geometric, Uniform, Exponential, Gamma, Weibull and Normal distributions – Functions
of Random Variable.

UNIT II TWO - DIMENSIONAL RANDOM VARIABLES 15
Joint distributions – Marginal and conditional distributions – Covariance – Correlation and Linear
regression – Transformation of random variables – Applications of Central Limit Theorem.

UNIT III TESTING OF HYPOTHESIS 15
Statistical hypothesis - Large sample test based on Normal distribution for single mean and
difference of means -Tests based on t, F and Chi-square test for single sample standard deviation.
Chi-square tests for independence of attributes and goodness of fit.

UNIT IV DESIGN OF EXPERIMENTS 15
One way and Two way classifications - Completely randomized design – Randomized block design
– Latin square design.

UNIT V STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL 15
Control charts for measurements (X and R charts) – Control charts for attributes (p, c and np
charts) – Tolerance limits - Acceptance sampling.
TOTAL: 75 PERIODS

OUTCOMES:
On completion of the course students will be able to
• Characterize standard probability distribution by employing basic techniques and methods
of probability mass function and probability density function for discrete and continuous
random variables
• Develop skills to solve problems on correlation and regression
• Obtain statistical data from experiments and able to analyze the same using statistical test.
• Design experiments using suitable ANOVA techniques and draw conclusions.
• Use control charts to study, analyze and interpret problems in statistical quality control.
