Full course description

Probability and Statistics introduces the student to the main concepts of probability theory and statistics. Probability theory is the mathematical branch that focuses on experiments where the outcome is determined by chance. Here students learn how to make use of random variables to extract the probability distribution of an experiment. Additionally topics such as, expectation, standard deviation, and independence will be examined. The statistics part of the course discusses basic statistical topics such as the central limit theorem, verification of hypotheses, and confidence intervals. After completing this course students will have obtained an overview of commonly seen probability distributions, as well as several statistical procedures. Additionally the student will be able to deal with problems that involve probabilities, and measure their outcome.
