ISE 6120 - Probabilistic System Analysis

• Compare two populations, for both mean and variation, using random samples.
• Conduct hypothesis tests on population parameters utilizing point estimates from random samples.
• Describe an unknown population using statistics from a random sample.
• Describe the parameters and the application of common sampling distributions.
• Determine sample sizes for hypothesis tests of population means.
• Determine the best sample measure of central tendency and variation for a sample from a known population distribution.
• Plot X, Y data and identify linear and transformable patterns.
• Use ANOVA techniques to identify weak regression models.
• Use ANOVA techniques to test for simple randomized one-factor experiments.
• Use least squares regression methods for single and multiple X variables.
• Use sequential model selection techniques, like stepwise regression, to build prediction models.
• Use tables to calculate probability and its inverse from common distributions.
• Utilize spreadsheet software for basic statistical analysis.
