1. Read the following statement carefully: “The concepts of probability and statistics are powerful ones and contribute extensively to the solutions of many types of engineering problems”.
Answer the following: Why, in your own words, do you think in your specifically engineering professional practice, probability and statistics will help you to be successful?
Probability and statistics are are useful in practical life and engineering applications .
Some examples like estimation of floods in hydrology , In this problems we are estimate the probability of floods occure and probability of risk. Based on previous statistics we can assume the quantity of discharge of water . Storaga capacities can be pre determine
We are using poissions distribution in number of vehicle calculation in transportation and micro organisms growth in waste water engineering.
Statistics data are required for every estimate problems in engineering applications. To find the population forecasting in future, there are some methods required previous population statistics are Arthematic, geometric , incremental increase method , logistic method , graphical merhod.
To forecasting the rainfall occurance, we need previous statistics.
