Course Description:
After this course the student should be able to understand the setup of a probability space, events, probability and conditional probability (knowledge and insight); use the basic rules of probability theory (sum rule, product rule, law of total probability, Bayes' rule) (applying knowledge and insight); understand what a random variable is, what its distribution is, both for discrete and continuous random variables (this includes the concept of probability mass function, probability density function, and cumulative distribution function) (knowledge and insight); compute the expectation and variance of a random variable (applying knowledge and insight); compute the expectation and variance of a sum of independent random variables (applying knowledge and insight); derive discrete probability distributions for probabilistic experiments associated to the Bernoulli, Binomial, Negative Binomial and Poisson distribution (applying knowledge and insight); compute probabilities for continuous random variables, specifically the uniform, exponential, and normal distribution (applying knowledge and insight)
