Evaluation
Overall scores will be computed as follows:25% homework, 10% quizzes, 25% midterm, 40% final
No letter grades will be given for homework, midterm, or final.Your letter grade for the course will be based on your overallscore.
The two lowest homework scores and the lowest quiz scorewill be dropped.
Here are the letter grades you can achieve according to youroverall score.
≥ 90%: At least A≥ 75%: At least B≥ 60%: At least C≥ 50%: At least D

Living in a world of uncertainties
— Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting adifferent result

Modeling uncertainty and randomness
probability → random variables
numerical analysis → uncertainty quantification
electrical engineer → fuzzy logic
theory of evidence, possibility theory

What do we want?
make meaningful statement about the uncertain world(e.g.: Smoking is bad for your health)
saying those statements with confidence(e.g.: I’m 95% sure that smoking is bad for health)
quantify uncertainties
making prediction about uncertain outcomes(I’m 90% sure that the McDonald’s stock is rising)(The weather channel says there is a 90% that it will rain)
using such predictions for our personal gains(I’m bringing an umbrella with me today)

How are we going to do it?

How are we going to do it?
population: a well-defined collection of objects of interest
when desired information is available for all objects in thepopulation, we have what is called a census→ very expensive
a sample, a subset of the population, is selected→ we obtain a data set → make prediction/test hypothesis

Chapter 1: Descriptive Statistics
Goal: describe a data set
By pictures and tables (1.2)
By measures of locations (1.3) and variability (1.4)
