Statistics plays a vital role in social and scientific investigations. This course introduces students to the theory of probability and probability distributions, with clear indication of the relevance and importance of the theory in solving practical problems in the real world. The development of these concepts, and the understanding of the properties of commonly used distributions and underlying theory, form a solid foundation for the subsequent course on statistical inference.

This course introduces students to the concepts and elements of probability and distribution theory. The topics include probability, random variables and their distributions, expectation, moment generating functions, standard discrete and continuous distributions, bivariate distributions, transformation techniques and sampling distributions related to the normal distribution. This course also includes practical applications of these distributions and introduces statistical computations using R.
