MA3391 subject code deals with the probability and statistics syllabus of B.E Environmental Engineering. In the second year, it is included in the semester III. This subject deals with the statistics and probability concepts to explore. In this article, we include textbooks and references to guide you to some more extent.

We aim to provide a detailed syllabus of MA3391 probability and statistics. You can find unit-wise concepts and can easily make your preparations for examinations. It wouldn’t be difficult to find all the requirements in one place for the subject syllabus. This motto makes us provide this information to make it easy for you. Hope this information is useful. Don’t regret to share it with your classmates.

If you want to know more about the syllabus of other branches including B.E Environmental Engineering connected to an affiliated institution’s four-year undergraduate degree programme. We provide you with a detailed Year-wise, semester-wise, and Subject-wise syllabus in the following link B.E Environmental Engineering Syllabus Anna University, Regulation 2021.

Aim Of Concept:

• This course aims at providing the required skill to apply the statistical tools in engineering problems.
• To introduce the basic concepts of probability and random variables.
• To introduce the basic concepts of two dimensional random variables.
• To acquaint the knowledge of testing of hypothesis for small and large samples which plays an important role in real-life problems.
• To introduce the basic concepts of classifications of design of experiments which plays very important roles in the field of agriculture and statistical quality control.
