The study and application of biostatistics and probability distributions in environmental and health related sampling.
Emphasis is given to hypothesis testing and graphical determination of confidence intervals.
This course will also cover the use of log scales and their application in log-normal distributions. This course is offered to graduate students only. The purpose of this course is to prepare students in the Dept. of Occupational Safety and Health to better understand the practical application of statistical analysis in the industrial field. It is necessary that students, taking higher level courses such as air sampling strategies, industrial ventilation, waste water treatment, and human factors, do understand the statistics required to analyze and solve real life situations. This includes the use of unauthorized, books, notebooks, or other sources in order to secure or give help during an examination, the unauthorized copying of examinations, assignments, reports and term papers, or the presentation of unacknowledged material as if it were the student's own work.
