ISYE 3770 - Statistics and Applications
ISYE 3770: Statistics and Applications is a 3-credit course about applied statistics and probability, required for a number of majors. It is crosslisted with MATH 3670 and CEE 3770.
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.
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
Prerequisite Knowledge
The official prerequisites are MATH 2401 or 2411 or 24X1 (Calculus III) and CS 1316 or equivalent. This list isn't comprehensive as I was able to take the course without either of those. I think MATH 2550 and CS 1331 are probably okay alternatives.
