Instructor-in-charge: Dr. Himadri M.

Instructors: Dr. Anupama S., Dr. Shilpa S.


Instructors: Dr. Mayank G. , Dr. Himadri M.

Tutorial Instructors:

(1) Course Description:


Probability theorydeals with many real life problems, which either inherently involve the chance
phenomena or describe the behavior of the system explicitly with statistical properties.
Interpretation of the system behavior in many engineering aspects depends on concept of
probability and statistics that familiarize with the computational aspects. This course
explains the basic properties of random variables, probability distributions, statistical
inferences, and other related concepts.

(2) Scope and Objective of the Course:


The primary objective of this course is to familiarize students with the fundamental concepts
and techniques of probability theory and statistical analysis.
