Course Objective

This course introduces students to the mathematical principles of statistics. Students will learn basic principles of counting process, axioms of probability, random variables and their distributions.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Use the concepts of random variables probability and distribution functions, properties and their relationships
2   Understand how basic concepts such as expected value, variance and standard deviation will be calculated and interpreted
3   Obtain moments and moment generating functions of random variables.
4   Use the basic discrete distributions (Bernoulli, Binomial, Geometric, Negative Binomial, Hypergeometric, and Poisson) with their properties.
5   Use the basic continuous distributions (Uniform, Normal, Standard normal, Exponential) with their properties.
