Probability Distributions

Uitgebreide vaknaam	Probability Distributions
Leerdoelen	Upon completion of the course the student is able to: 1. Work with joint distribution functions and the related calculus skills. 2.Define the probability distribution function of random variables that are combinations of other random variables. 3. Use conditional expectation and variance to simplify probabilistic reasoning and computations. 4. Apply inequalities and limit theorems to approximately estimate probabilities for more difficult probability models.
Omschrijving	This course continues the study of probability theory, started in the course Probability theory. We will study joint probability distributions, change of variables, conditional expectation and inequalities and limit theorems. The book is the same as for Probability Theory, we continue with ch 7, 8, 9, and 10.
