Education facts

Code: STGA09

Content and Form of Instruction The course covers the concept of probability, independent events, conditional probabilities, stochastic variables, mathematical expectation value, variance, some statistical standard distributions, and the central limit theorem as well as practical applications of the above. The course also covers descriptive statistics, linear relations between two variables, estimation and hypothesis testing, random numbers, and simulation. Instruction is partly in the form of computer lab sessions with statistical software programmes.
