The students will try to learn:

I The theory of probability, conditional probability, Bayes theorem and their applications.
II The theory of random variables, basic random variate distributions and their
applications.
III The role of Binomial, Poisson and Normal distributions in solving the real-life problems.
IV The methods and techniques for quantifying the degree of closeness among two or more
variables by using coefficient of correlation and the concept of linear regression analysis.
