This is the final course in the mathematics core curriculum. It provides a professional development experience upon which cadets can structure their reasoning under conditions of uncertainty and presents fundamental probability and statistical concepts that support the USMA core curriculum. Coverage includes descriptive statistics; basic probability concepts; discrete, continuous and joint random variables and their distributions; point and interval estimation; and hypothesis testing. Academic projects are used in the course to motivate concepts presented. Students are introduced to and make use of computer capabilities for statistical analysis.
