Course Objectives:
This paper deals with
the situation where there is uncertainty and how to measure that uncertainty by
defining the probability, random variable and mathematical expectation which
are essential in all research areas. This
paper gives an idea of using various standard theoretical distributions, their
chief characteristics and applications in analyzing any data.
Unit-I (11 hours) [CO1]

sample space, event, mutually exclusive and exhaustive events, equally likely
and favourable outcomes. Mathematical, Statistical, axiomatic definitions of
probability. Conditional Probability and independence of events, Addition and
multiplication theorems of probability for 2 and for n events. Boole's
inequality and Baye's theorem and its applications in real life problems.

Course Outcomes:
1)
Ability to distinguish between random and
non-random experiments,
2) Knowledge to conceptualize the probabilities of
events including frequentist and axiomatic approach.
Simultaneously, they will learn the notion of conditional probability including
the concept of Bayes’ Theorem,
3) Knowledge related to concept of discrete and
continuous random variables and their probability
distributions including expectation and moments,
4) Knowledge of important discrete and continuous
distributions such as Binomial, Poisson, Geometric,
Negative Binomial and Hyper-geometric, normal, uniform, exponential, beta and
gamma distributions,
5) Acumen
to apply standard discrete and continuous probability distributions to
different situations.
