Module contents

 Basic terms:
  - probability spaces
  - independence of events
  - combinatorics and probability
  - probability of unions
 
Conditional probability:
  - multiplication rule
  - rule of total probability
  - Bayes' theorem
 
Discrete random variables:
  - distribution of a random variable
  - expected value of a random variable
  - variance and standard deviation of a random variable
  - some discrete distributions (binomial, multinomial, poisson, ...)
 
General random variables:
 - expected value and variance of absolutely continuous random variables
 - Some continuous distributions (uniform distribution, exponential distribution, normal distribution, ...)
 - transformations of random variables
 - joint distribution, marginal distribution and conditional distribution
 - sums of independent random variables
 - covariance, variance and correlation
 
Limit theorems:
 - laws of large numbers
 - central limit theorem
 
Statistical concepts:
 - point estimates (method of moments, maximum likelihood method)
 - interval estimates (expected value of a normal distribution with known / unknown variance, expected value of any distribution for large samples, ...)
 - testing hypotheses (binary hypotheses, parametrized hypotheses, hypotheses about the distribution function, ...)
