Course Content

The course will cover the following topics:
Counting and probability (both theoretical and experimental definitions);
Rules of probability (based on set theory); conditional probability;
The random variable; probability mass functions and density functions;
Expectation values; sampling theory (mean and standard deviation); hypothesis testing;
Confidence intervals (for the population mean, population standard deviation).
