Course Objective

This course introduces students to the mathematical principles of statistics. Students will learn random variables and their distributions, joint random variables and conditional distributions, moment generating function, the distributions of the functions of random variables.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Use the basic discrete distributions (Bernoulli, Binomial, Geometric, Negative Binomial, Hypergeometric, and Poisson) with their properties.
2   Use the basic continuous distributions (Uniform, Normal, Standard normal, Exponential, Gamma and Weibull) with their properties.
3   Obtain moments and moment generating functions of random variables.
4   Calculate the basic two-variable statistics (covariance, correlation) using joint distributions and conditional distributions.
5   Obtain the distributions of the functions of random variables.
