MAA210 provides with an introduction to the beasic concepts of probability and statistics. The course covers the following topics

  • Discrete probability spaces: independence and conditional probability
  •  Discrete random variables: independence, joint distribution and marginal distribution.
  • Expectation and variance of a discrete random variable: applications to binomial random variables, Poisson random variables and geometric random variables.
  • Basic inequalities: Jensen, Markov and Chebyshev.
  • Absolutely continuous random variables: Gaussian random variables, uniform random variables and exponential random variables
  • Cumulative distribution function
  • Expectation of an absolutely continuous random variable
  • Quadratic convergence of random variables and law of large numbers for square integrable random variables
  • Introduction to descriptive Statistics: of one and two-dimensional descriptive statistics (correlation and LS regression line)
  • Random variables: variance, moment generating function, characteristic functions
  • Convergence of a sequence of random variables and central limit theorem
  • Introduction to parametric estimation: Estimation of the expectation, Maximum likelihood estimation
  • Confidence interval and introduction to statistical tests: Confidence intervals, parametric tests
