CIVL 331 - Probability and Statistics for Civil and Construction Engineering

Credit Hours: 3

This course introduces engineering students to concepts and techniques necessary to organize and analyze technical data. Descriptive statistical measures and probability theory are combined to provide the basis for statistical decision-making techniques applicable to the practice of civil and construction engineering. Topics include data collection and presentation, measures of central tendency; measures of variability; basic probability laws and distributions; sampling theory, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, regression analysis, and process control.
