COURSE OUTCOMES
On completion of the course, student will be able to
CO1 - Define probabilities, probability distributions. List the discrete and continuous distributions.
CO2 - Explain functions of random variables and their probability distributions. Explain and derive the parameters of the
distributions.
CO3 - Choose appropriate probability theorem and solve the problems. Prepare the cumulative distribution for random
variables. Application of the parameters of distributions. Sketch the control charts and point out the results based
on the charts.
CO4 - Distinguish correlation and regression. Categorize the regression coefficients.

Compare the variances of design of experiments.
CO6 - Construct and develop the transformations of random variables. Also determine their mean and variances by
expectations.
