MATH1170

The student can summarize data in terms of statistics and diagrams, can calculate probabilities of events and conditional probabilities, can apply the most important discrete and continuous probability distributions, joint distributions, moment generating functions, and sampling distributions. The student can apply the method of least squares and conduct inference concerning one and two means, variances, and proportions, correlation, and concerning linear regression coefficients. Course develops oral skills, critical and analytical thinking.

Additionally, the course develops:

problem-solving and decision-making (choice of appropriate modeling approach)
analytical and critical thinking (choice of appropriate modeling approach)
digital skills (MS Excel)

This course with a main focus on probability calculus is targeted mainly at Faculty of Technology students as a replacement for Tilastotieteen perusteet (Introduction to Statistics STAT1030) which has a stronger focus on statistics, it is not possible to earn credits for both Tilastotieteen perusteet and Probability and Statistics (or Basic Course in Statistics STAT1020). This course is strongly recommended as a prerequisite for the course Probability and Stochastic Processes.
