Engineering Probability and Statistics skills needed for Fundamental Engineering (FE) EI EIT test


This part takes 7% pf morning points based on NCEES FE Supplied-Reference Handbook, 8th edition, 2nd revision.

1. Measures of central tendencies and dispersions.
    This section is about mean, mode, standard deviations. There are two kinds of statistics are widely used to describe data. They are measures of central tendency and dispersion. The descriptive statistics is used to describe mean, median and mode of data.

2. Probability distributions.
    This section is about discrete, continuous, normal, and binomial.

3. Conditional probabilities.
    This section is about the probability of an event (A), given that another (B) has already occurred.

4. Estimation for a single mean.
    This section  is about point, confidence intervals.

5. Regression and curve fitting.
    This section is about regression analysis of relationship between one or several predictors (independent variables) and the response (dependent variable).

6. Expected value in decision-making.
    This section is about weighted average. The decision analysis is to choose between two or more actions, each of them can lead to several possible outcomes.

7. Hypothesis testing.
    This section is about hypothesis testing. This kind of testing uses statistics to determine the probability that a given hypothesis is true.

Arithmetic Mean
 Weighted Mean
 Geometric Mean

If you know all these, you are awsome.
