COLLEGE VISION
The PLM College of Engineering and Technology is the preferred academic institution for engineering and
technology education, research and extension service.
COLLEGE MISSION
The relationship of probability to statistics is also discussed, providing students with the tools they need
to understand how "chance" plays a role in statistical analysis. Probability distributions of random variables
and their uses are also considered, along with a discussion of linear functions of random variables within the
context of their application to data analysis and inference. The course also includes estimation techniques for
unknown parameters; and hypothesis testing used in making inferences from sample to population; inference
for regression parameters and build models for estimating means and predicting future values of key variables
under study. Finally, statistically based experimental design techniques and analysis of outcomes of
experiments are discussed with the aid of statistical software.

GRADING SYSTEM
Problem solving exercises or seatworks are usually given at the start or near the end of the lecture
period. Some exercises are solved through team effort to promote cooperative learning.
Problem set assignments are done individually. Outputs are collected at the beginning of the next
class session.
Students will be rated individually in the group oral presentation through the rubric.
Reflection notebook is required every group oral presentation and will be checked using the rubric.
Culminating Activity/Project:
The activity/project will be announced. It is a group effort and will be submitted at the end of the
semester.

Problem set assignments are due at the beginning of class. Late assignments may be submitted for
grading, but will be assigned the following penalties: 1 day late: 50% credit, 2 days late: 25% credit, 3
days late: 10% credit. Homework can be turned in early if a student expects to be absent.
Guidelines for homework:
a. All solutions will be submitted on 8 ½” x 13” paper.
b. Solutions will be presented on one side of each sheet only.
c. The first page will contain the following in the upper left margin:
- Student’s name
- Student number
- Course code and Course Title
- Indicate the Problem set
d. The final answer must be boxed together with the correct units.
e. Clarity and neatness are vital. Points may be taken off for sloppiness.
B. Exam
Attendance is required for all examinations. If a student arrives late for any examination, the student
must complete the examination at the same scheduled time as all other students.
No make-up exams will be given except for legitimate medical excuses. Grace period for the make-
up exam is one week after the student’s return to class.
All forms of cheating (e.g., plagiarism, copying, communicating with others during an exam) are not
acceptable in this class.
Cheating in a major examination will entail a failing mark for the given course.
Cheating, dishonesty, and plagiarism in other works will entail a zero score for the said requirement.
