一、教學目標：%

1.     Students are expected to learn about some important topics in inferential statistics such as the estimation, confidence interval, hypothesis testing, optimal tests and sufficient statistics.

2.     Students should understand some basic definitions, terms and theorems in each topic including type I error, type II error, the power of a test, powerful tests, the central limit theorem, and the Neyman-Pearson theorem..

3.     Students need to know how to apply their knowledge learned from each topic to solve relevant problems in their daily life.

4.     In order to promote their understanding and efficiency, students are expected to use technology and software as tools to support their learning.
