9. Keywords Probability, Descriptive Statistics, PDF, CDF
10. Course overview:

The basic concepts of Statistics and Probability are studied in order to help students in
understanding the value of statistics for acquiring cognition, so that preparing them with in-
depth learning principles of probability. Topics include presenting raw data by arranging
them in statistical tables and various charts, probability density function (PDF) and
cumulative density function (CDF), discrete and continuous probability distributions
with some special types of pdfs including their characteristics as mean, variance and
moment generating function. Multivariate random variables topic is a part in this
course with studying the relation between two random variables by finding
correlation coefficient of them. Finally, the function of univariate and multivariate
random variable(s) are discussed.

11. Course objective:

This course is an introduction for statistics, the fundamental theory of random
variable distribution and the multivariate probability distribution will be taken to
prepare the students to get ready studying the Mathematical Statistics and Applied
Statistics courses. In addition, it is preparing the students conducting graduation projects or
researches by doing surveys and analysing data to make conclusions.

12. Student's obligation

The students are obliged to perform at least three closed book exams during the academic year
(2016-2017). The exam has 30%, besides activities and quizzes 10%. The other 60% will be reserved
for the final exam. The students attendance are required from the 81-hour total of 90 hours
of course

13. Forms of teaching

The course will be conducted by presenting the slides within the Data-show in addition the
usage of white board.
14. Assessment scheme
There will be homework in every lecture that must be done by students.

15. Student learning outcome:

After taking this course, students will be able to use basic statistical instruments, including
statistical tables and charts to perform simple statistical analyses for small samples, solve
probabilistic problems and they will be prepared studying mathematical statistics subject in 3 rd
class.
