UNIT I: Random Variables and Discrete Probability Distributions

Probability Space: A probability space consists of sample space, events, and probability function.
Conditional Probability: Probability of event given another event. Bayes' Theorem relates
conditional probabilities.

Random Variables: A function assigning numerical values to outcomes. Discrete variables take
countable values.

Expectation and Variance: Expectation is average value, variance measures spread.

Important distributions: Binomial (success/failure), Poisson (rare events), Multinomial.

Chebyshev’s Inequality: Provides bounds on probability deviation from mean.

UNIT II: Continuous and Bivariate Distributions

Continuous Random Variables: Variables taking infinite values. Defined using PDF.

Normal Distribution: Bell-shaped symmetric curve. Exponential and Gamma are skewed
distributions.

Bivariate Distributions: Joint distribution of two variables. Includes marginal and conditional
densities.

UNIT III: Basic Statistics

Measures of Central Tendency: Mean, Median, Mode.

Moments, Skewness, Kurtosis: Describe shape of distribution.

Correlation: Measures relationship between variables. Rank correlation is used for ranked data.

Regression: Predicts dependent variable based on independent variable.

Least Squares Method: Used for curve fitting (straight line, parabola).

UNIT IV: Applied Statistics

Hypothesis Testing: Null and Alternative hypotheses.

Large Sample Tests: Z-test for mean and proportion.

Small Sample Tests: t-test, chi-square test, F-test.


Chi-square: Goodness of fit and independence tests.
