Description
Version: 4.0 start 01 August 2024
Short description
The module Probability Theory introduces the basics of probability theory. Students learn to describe random events with probability models and to quantify them using the statistical software R.

Learning objectives (competencies)
Objectives
Competences
Taxonomy levels

Students are able to calculate probabilities, expected values and variances of random events of special discrete and continuous distributions.
F, M
K2, K3
Students are able to determine the probability distribution of complex random events approximatively with simulation experiments.
F, M
K3, K4
Students are able to identify random components of everyday processes and formulate them with adequate probability models

Module contents
Students learn to describe random events by probability, to model quantitatively the results of random experiments with random variables, and to determine and interpret their properties such as expected value and variance.
The
lessons
are divided into the following blocks:
Random experiment and concept of probability
Basics of combinatorics
Conditional probability
Bayes' theorem
Independence from events
Random variables
Probability function and density
Distribution function
Moments
Special discrete and continuous univariate probability models
Bivariate Normal distribution
Law of large numbers
Central limit theorem
In the
lab
students learn to implement concepts conveyed in the lecture based on concrete exercises with the statistical software R. This also includes simulation experiments to approximately calcuate the
probability of random events or parameters as well as to illustrate selected concepts of probability theory.
