Credits 3 Contact Hours 3 Prerequisite Courses MA 36300 Corequisite Courses ECE 30100 Textbook R. D. Yates and D. J. Goodman, Probability and Stochastic Systems: A Friendly Introduction for Electrical and Computer Engineers, Wiley, Current Edition. Course Objectives This course is designed to serve as an introduction to experiments, models and probabilities. The following topics will be covered: probability models defined on abstract sets; individual discrete and continuous random variables; pairs of random variables including joint probability functions, conditional probability functions, correlation, and covariance; a brief introduction to stochastic processes with an emphasis on the Poisson process. Course Outcomes Students who successfully complete this course will have demonstrated: 1. An understanding of the basic concepts of probability models defined on abstract sets. (a, e) 2. An understanding of the three axioms of probability. (a, e) 3. An understanding of the law of total probability, Bayes’ theorem, and independence. (a, e) 4.
