This course covers some very good material, but seems to be randomly organized and very inconsistent in language between the material and test.

Excellent - great review
A few typos, eg., p. 8 -- mean should be 63/7 = 9 rather than 8 of the example problem.

This was an awesome course! More challenging
than courses from other places.
Requires working through some of the examples and
doing some research in some of the references.
I wish I had Professor Okogbaa when I was in grad school!

This is a challenging course. Some of the symbols were not fully explained, eg. "P(A|B)" so I had to assume I understood what that meant. The examples, however, were very helpful.

Probably not a great benefit for most practicing engineers. More suitable for statisticians/mathemathics majors. Most engineers depend on statisticians for such detailed statistical test plans and analysis.

Good overview of the material. There were some typos, and occasional ambiguities in the explanations. However, it was a decent overview of a complex subject.

This was a challenging, but worthwhile course. I learned a lot of new principles. I think this kind of statistical study is representative about what continuing education is about. I very much enjoyed it too!!

The course was wide-ranging. There was a lack of clarity sometimes in symbology, text was full of long run on sentences and occasionally confusing grammar. The content was good but highly academic. This was helped by many examples and stated guidelines. I recently read Statistical Treatment of Experimental Data by Hugh D. Young, published in 1962. It was an excellent treatise covering much the same ground as Course 275, albeit in 150 pages.

Some misspelled words in text and some incomplete sentences. On page 7 63 divided by 7 is said to be 8 and not 9. On page 11, MATHLAB is really MATLAB. Pie chart page 14 is in poor form with slices not proportional to frequency. Wish that all examples wee engineering based versus die roll or card deck based. Used some good engineering examples with distribution discussion. Figure 9 was blank in my pdf saved file. For distributions suggest using Excel as calculation platform rather than using tables in textbooks. Page 32 discussion of bernoulli needs cleanup with odd sentence gaps.
The author has addressed the reviuewer's comments in a revised and updated course document.

While the concepts are generally well presented. There are some typos in the material.
It would also be good to explain some of shorthanded descriptions such as the probability of a given b.

The overall format and text grammar was very well done. Yet many terms were used without explanation - so having had a little background in prob / stats was an advantage. Also, many of the formulae were very complex and didn't seem appropriate for a 'Part 1' course. [But the examples were great and well presented!] In general - A good course ...

This course requires the student to conduct a thorough review of some of the basic principles of statistics. It was helpful. Additional examples and questions dealing with the use of the standard normal distribution would be useful. Also, the information on Page 5 that forms the basis for the answer to test question number 2 may need clarification.

The course was good. I felt that the nomenclature used in some of the formulas was not defined very well which made it difficult to understand the formulas

Great to see a Probability and Statistics course offered! However, the text was badly in need of a technical editor. I had to refer to my (now ancient) college textbook to clarify some of the material. Typos abounded! Even in the Test!! (Problem 29 for example). Much of the material could have been presented more clearly, and extraneous duplication omitted. I'll try the second course in this series just for kicks, but I'll keep my textbook handy...
I would not recommend this for those who don't have previous experience.

Not a bad job by the author. This is a tough subject. But from section 6.1 to the end, the material seemed to be a dumping ground for probability theory, Venn and Tree diagrams, and the Greek alphabet. One would have to be very comfortable with sigmas, mus, and lamdas to get meaning out of the formulas. I suggest using some Excel references (e.g, =binomdist, =normdist, =stdev) to supplement the explanations/formulas. There were some errors and inconsistencies that distracted from the content, and some of the examples. (For example, the median of a set of data is not (n+1)/2; rather, it is located at the (n+1)/2 position. A similar issue occurred with the quartile explanation. There were some errors with the Normal Distribution Example 2). It was good to learn about the negative binomial and the hypergeometric distributions, but I did supplement the course with some Wikipedia explanations (some were better, some were not). Two of the exam questions (#13 & #19) referenced earlier questions incorrectly. All in all, however, it met my needs for pdh, and the sale price was reasonable.
