MATH-264 Introduction to Statistics

Credit Hours: 3-0


Prerequisites: MATH-263 Probability Theory

Course Objectives: An understanding of random phenomena is becoming


increasingly important in today's world within social and political sciences, finance,
life sciences and many other fields. In this course the students are trained to set up
mathematical models of processes and systems that are affected by chance. The
students would learn techniques of estimation of parameters, confidence intervals,
hypothesis testing and quality control.

Core Contents: Introduction to Descriptive Statistics, Distributions of Sampling


Statistics, The method of maximum likelihood, Testing Statistical Hypotheses,
Hypothesis Tests Concerning Two Populations, Analysis of Variance, Linear
Regression, Chi-Squared Goodness-of-Fit Tests, Quality Control.

Detailed Course Contents: Distributions of Sampling Statistics: Sample Mean,


Central Limit Theorem, Distribution of the Sample Variance of a Normal Population.

The method of Maximum Likelihood: Point Estimator of a Population Mean,


Estimating a Population Variance.

Estimation: Interval Estimators of the Mean of a Normal Population with Known


Population Variance, Lower and Upper Confidence Bounds, Interval Estimators of
the Mean of a Normal Population with Unknown Population Variance, Lower and
Upper Confidence Bounds.

Testing Statistical Hypotheses: Hypothesis Tests and Significance Levels, Tests


Concerning the Mean of a Normal Population: Case of Known Variance, One-Sided
Tests, The t Test for the Mean of a Normal Population: Case of Unknown Variance.

Hypothesis Tests Concerning Two Populations: Testing Equality of Means of Two


Normal Populations: Case of Known Variances, Testing Equality of Means; Unknown
Variances and Large Sample Sizes, Testing Equality of Means; Small-Sample Tests
when the Unknown Population Variances are Equal.

Analysis of Variance: Introduction to Analysis of Variance, One-Factor Analysis of


Variance, Two-Factor Analysis of Variance; Introduction and Parameter Estimation,
Two-Factor Analysis of Variance; Testing Hypotheses.

Linear Regression: Introduction to Linear Regression, Simple Linear Regression


Model, Estimating the Regression Parameters, Error Random Variables, Testing the
Hypothesis that β = 0, Coefficient of Determination, Sample Correlation.

Chi-Squared Goodness-of-Fit Tests: Introduction to Chi-Squared Goodness-of-Fit


Tests, Testing for Independence in Populations Classified according to Two
Characteristics, Testing for Independence in Contingency Tables with Fixed Marginal
Totals.

Quality Control: Introduction to Quality Control, The X Control Chart for Detecting a
Shift in the Mean when the Mean and Variance Are Unknown, S Control Charts,
Control Charts for Fraction Defective.

Course Outcomes: After the successful completion of the course, the students
are expected to understand:

 basic principles of collection and presentation of data along with some


important features
 point and interval estimation of population parameters
 how different hypothesis regarding characteristics of population parameters
are tested
 variance and regression analysis and quality control charts.
