Outcomes:
• Students would be able to identify distribution in certain realistic situation. It is
mainly useful for circuit as well as non circuit branches of engineering. Also able to
differentiate among many random variables involved in the probability models. It is
quite useful for all branches of engineering.
• The student would be able to calculate mean and proportions(small and large
samples)and to make important decisions from few samples which are taken out of
unmanageably huge populations.It is mainly useful for non-branches of engineering.
