Description

Statistics is generally termed as a branch of applied mathematics concerned with the collection of quantitative data and the use of probability theory to estimate population parameters. Descriptive statistics (distribution, summary statistics), run charts, and probability (distributions) are used for developing process control charts and developing process capability indices. A technical staff should have expert knowledge to manipulate and estimate the probability of an event occurring.
This course is designed to help students to understand the fundamentals of random variables, probability distribution and decision making and also to analyze statistical data graphically using frequency distributions and cumulating frequency distributions.
After completing this course, students will possess a basic understanding of descriptive and inferential statistics, and their practical use in making decisions in business and industry.

Amesh Hurdial

Amesh is a Chemical Engineer with over 20 years experience in multi disciplinary team management, process team management, plant design, project execution, commissioning and operation, risk management and studies, investigations, facilitation and audits. He has worked in several industries ranging from oil and gas (including petroleum refining),water, shale to liquids, chemicals, rail and coal mining. 

Amesh started his career in the coal mines of South Africa and has since been associated with large multinationals and small upstart companies, both in South Africa and Australia. Leading and facilitating groups, project management, and mentoring of fellow engineers to achieve strong outcomes in support of company and project goals are listed as some of Amesh’s key strengths. 

Amesh also has a keen focus on plant safety through design, ensuring people and the environment are protected, and ultimately achieving objectives related to safely operating facilities. At present Amesh is providing specialist process design and risk management services as part of his own engineering consulting entity.
