E – 1290 – Engineering Statistics – Hypothesis Testing I

A course underlying the basics of hypothesis testing for estimating one population mean, including Z- and T-tests and Intervals.

Pre-requisites: The normal distribution, z-scores, sampling distribution of sample means and the Central Limit Theorem, and a basic knowledge of probability.

Learning Objectives

At the successful conclusion of this course, you’ll be able to identify and discuss:

• To estimate the value of one population mean
• Inferential statistics – using statistics in order to estimate parameters
• We will be working with two inference procedures:
  (1) Z-Test (population standard deviation is known)(2) T-Test (population standard deviation is unknown
