Learning Outcomes

After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:

·      Identify the components that comprise a probability model, and the quantities that would need to be estimated in order to draw quantitative conclusions from the model.

·      Use counting techniques to solve probability problems involving equally likely outcomes.

·      Compute conditional probabilities using their definition and using Bayes’ Rule.

·      Identify commonly used discrete probability distributions, articulate their underlying assumptions, and use them to compute probabilities.

·      Identify commonly used continuous probability distributions, articulate their underlying assumptions, and use them to compute probabilities.

·      Compute probabilities using joint probability distributions.
