MAT 31143 MATHEMATICAL STATISTICS I

Mathematical Statistics I is the first half of a solid undergraduate treatment of statistical theory. Emphasis is placed on probability as it applies to inferential statistics. Topics to be covered include basic probability theory, conditional probability, Bayes' Theorem, univariate probability distributions (including binomial, negative binomial, negative binomial, geometric, hypergeometric, Poisson, beta, exponential, gamma, and normal), multivariate probability distributions, functions of random variables, expectation, moment generating functions, and simple linear regression. Prerequisite: A C or better in MAT 21144 Calculus II or consent of the instructor.
