Probability and Statistics Curriculum

This curriculum provides a structured overview of the study of probability and statistics.

Probability

Basic Concepts:

  • Sample spaces and events
  • Axioms of probability
  • Conditional probability
  • Independence
  • Bayes' Theorem

Random Variables:

  • Discrete and continuous random variables
  • Probability mass functions (PMF) and probability density functions (PDF)
  • Cumulative distribution functions (CDF)
  • Expectation and variance
  • Common distributions (Bernoulli, binomial, Poisson, normal, exponential)

Multivariate Distributions:

  • Joint distributions
  • Marginal distributions
  • Conditional distributions
  • Covariance and correlation
  • Independence of random variables

Statistics

Descriptive Statistics:

  • Measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode)
  • Measures of dispersion (variance, standard deviation, range)
  • Graphs and charts (histograms, box plots)
  • Skewness and kurtosis

Inferential Statistics:

  • Sampling distributions
  • Central Limit Theorem
  • Confidence intervals
  • Hypothesis testing
  • p-values

Regression Analysis:

  • Simple linear regression
  • Multiple linear regression
  • Model fitting and diagnostics
  • Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
