ISYE 3770: Statistics and Applications is a 3 credit course in applied statistics and probability. It is cross-listed with MATH 3670 and CEE 3770. Note: some majors allow double-counting of ISYE 3770 for the statistics requirement and as a non-major engineering elective.

Topic List

The textbook used is Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers by Montgomery and Runger, especially chapters 2 through 13.

  • Probability
  • Discrete random variables
  • Continuous random variables
    • Binomial, geometric, negative binomial, hypergeometric, Poisson, continuous uniform, normal, and exponential distributions
  • Joint probability distributions
  • Descriptive statistics
  • Sampling distributions and point estimation
  • Confidence intervals
  • Hypothesis testing
  • Statistical inference for two samples
  • Linear regression and multiple linear regression

Workload

Content is assessed through homework and assignments and exams. Use of statistical computer software such as Excel or R may be required in some homework assignments. ISYE 3770 is considered to be an easier class compared to equivalent math courses in probability and statistics.
