COURSE SYLLABUS
3. Pre-requisite: MATH147
4. Co-requisite: None
5. Credit: 3 units
6. Course Description: The course covers topics in discrete and continuous probability distributions, which
include binomial, Poisson, geometric, hypergeometric, normal, exponential, and joint probability distribution.
It is also designed to provide a working knowledge of the advanced concepts of inferential statistics for the
understanding and interpretation of statistical results. Other topics covered include contingency tables,
nonlinear and multiple regression, analysis of variance and non-parametric tests. An emphasis will be placed
on real-world applications to engineering problems using hands-on data analysis with MATLAB toolbox.

a. Attendance
According to CHED policy, total number of absences by the students should not be more than
20% of the total number of meetings or 9 hours for a three-unit-course. Students incurring more
b. Submission of Assessment Tasks (Student Outputs) should be on time; late submittal of course
works will not be accepted.
c. Written Major Examination (Long Quiz and Final Exams) will be administered as scheduled. No
special exam will be given unless with a valid reason subject to approval by the Chairman of the
Mathematics Department.
e. Language of Instruction
Lectures, discussion, and documentation will be in English. Written and spoken work may receive
a lower mark if it is, in the opinion of the instructor, deficient in English.
g. Consultation Schedule
Consultation schedules with the Professor are posted outside the faculty room and in the
Department’s web-page (http://math.mapua.edu.ph). It is recommended that the student first set
an appointment to confirm the instructor’s availability.
