The probability and statistics course covers fundamental concepts and techniques used in the analysis and interpretation of data. Students learn about probability theory, including concepts such as random variables, probability distributions, and expected values. They also study descriptive statistics, which involve methods for summarizing and presenting data, such as measures of central tendency and dispersion.
In addition, the course typically covers inferential statistics, which focuses on making predictions or inferences about populations based on sample data. This includes hypothesis testing, confidence intervals, and regression analysis. Students also learn about the principles of statistical inference and how to apply these techniques to real-world problems.
