probability and statistics

Document Content and Description Below

Purpose By the end of the course the student should be able to solve problems involving probability distributions of a discrete or a continuous random variable. Objectives By the end of this course th... e student should be able to; (1) Define the probability mass, density and distribution functions, and to use these to determine expectation, variance, percentiles and mode for a given distribution (2) Appreciate the form of the probability mass functions for the binomial, geometric, hyper-geometric and Poisson distributions, and the probability density functions for the uniform, exponential, gamma , beta and normal, functions, and their applications (3) Apply the moment generating function and transformation of variable techniques (4) Apply the principles of statistical inference for one sample problems. DESCRIPTION Random variables: discrete and continuous, probability mass, density and distribution [Show More]
