LEARNING GUIDE
AY 2020-2021, 2nd semester

Course No.: Math 18; Math 4; Math 68

Course Title: Engineering Data Analysis
No. of Hours: 3 hours/week
Course Description: This course is designed for undergraduate engineering students with emphasisonproblem solving
related to societal issues that engineers and scientists are called upon to solve. It introduces different methods of data
collection and the suitability of using a particular methodfor agiven situation. The relationship of probability to
statistics is also discussed, providing students withthe tools they need to understand how "chance" plays a role in
statistical analysis. Probabilitydistributions of random variables and their uses are also considered, along with a
discussion of linearfunctions of random variables within the context of their application to data analysis and
inference. Thecourse also includes estimation techniques for unknown parameters; and hypothesis
testingusedinmaking inferences from sample to population; inference for regression parameters and build
modelsforestimating means and predicting future values of key variables under study. Finally,
statisticallybasedexperimental design techniques and analysis of outcomes of experiments are discussed with the
aidofstatistical software.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this course, the students are expected to:
1. Apply statistical methods in the analysis of data
2. Design experiments involving several factors
3. Course Requirement:

To successfully complete the course, you are required to perform/conduct all the
learningactivitiesspecified in each topic. Overall assessment of the outputs will be based on the following:

PROBLEM SETS

1. Turbo Generators PLC manufacture seven large turbines for a customer. Three of these turbinesdonotmeet the
customer’s specification. Quality control inspectors choose two turbines at random. Let thediscrete random variable
X be defined to be the number of turbines inspected which meet the customer’sspecification. (a) Find the
probabilities that X takes the values 0, 1 or 2. (b) Find and graph the cumulativedistribution function.

2. A traffic engineer is interested in the number of vehicles reaching a particular crossroads duringperiodsof
relatively low traffic flow. The engineer finds that the number of vehicles X reaching the crossroadsperminute is
governed by the probability distribution:
x 0

P (X 0 0 0 0

(a) Calculate the expected value, the variance and the standard deviation of the randomvariable X. (b) Graph the
probability distribution P(X = x) and the corresponding cumulative probabilitydistributionF(x) = Ʃ��≤��(� = ��)

3. A machine is operated by two workers. There are sixteen workers available. Howmany possibleteamsof two
workers are there?

4. A factory has 52 machines. Two of these have been given an experimental modification. Inthefirstweek after this
modification, problems are reported with thirteen of the machines. What is the probabilitythat both of the modified
machines are among the thirteen with problems assuming that all machinesareequally likely to give problems?

5. A factory has 52 machines. Four of these have been given an experimental modification. Inthefirstweek after this
modification, problems are reported with thirteen of the machines. What is the probabilitythat exactly two of the
modified machines are among the thirteen with problems assumingthat allmachines are equally likely to give
 problems?

6. A random number generator produces sequences of independent digits, each of which is as likelytobeany digit
from 0 to 9 as any other. If X denotes any single digit, find E(X).
