Engineers are vital to the success and effectiveness of many businesses in the 21st century. The successful solution of engineering problems must be based on an understanding of variability and how to apply the principles of mathematical statistics to real world problems. Descriptive statistics are used to reduce large amounts of data and describe them in ways that are easily comprehendible. Inferential statistics are used to test hypotheses to determine if the results of a study occur at a rate that is unlikely to be due to chance. Statistics offer a wide range of methods to test hypotheses, each of which is appropriate to a different type of experimental design. A good research design depends in part on two factors: controlling the situation so that the research is only measuring what it is supposed to measure and including as many of the relevant factors as possible so that the research fairly emulates the real world experience. Statistical techniques can be applied to the gamut of engineering problems including new product design, process development, and quality control.
