• The course co rse Probability Probabilit and Statistics for Engineers is designed for students to gain an understanding of probability, statistics and random p processes. • Students are expected to have learnt the basic concept about p probability. y • There are three sections, ENGG2450A, B and C. S Section A : EE students ((Prof. f W.K. Cham) C ) Section B : BME students (Prof. X. Gao of SEEM) Section C : SEEM students (Prof. Kevin Ng of SEEM) BME students of section B are allowed to switch to section A.
