Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

  • Probability theory: Combinatorics, outcome space, dependent and independent events, random variables, expected value, variance, standard deviation, conditional probability, total probability law, functions of random variables and the central limit theorem.
  • Probability distributions: Discrete and continuous uniform distribution, binomial distribution, Poisson distribution, exponential distribution, normal distribution and t-distribution.
  • Statistical inference: Confidence intervals for one and two means and for paired dependent data.
  • Descriptive statistics, digital tools, uncertainty analysis in measurement technology, and an introduction to the concepts of correlation and simple linear regression.

Intended learning outcomes

After completing the course, the student should be able to:

  • define and interpret key concepts in mathematical statistics
  • use basic theorems and methods from mathematical statistics to solve applied problems
  • explain how uncertainty analysis is used in measurement technology
  • use software to solve problems within the scope of the course.

For higher grades, students should also be able to:

  • solve more advanced problems in mathematical statistics.
