Learning Objectives

The course is meant to provide the basics of the theory of probability, random variables and distribution functions as well as the main concepts of inferential statistics, namely estimation and hypothesis testing.

Program

01. Discrete univariate random variables:
01.01 Generalities on random phenomena. Quantitative observations of systems in Physics, Economics and Biology. Frequencies of occurrence and law of large numbers.
01.02 Probability distribution and cumulative distribution function.
01.03 Bernoulli and Poisson distributions.
01.04 Events and their probabilities. Conditional probability. Independence and incompatibility.

02. Continuous univariate random variables:

02.02 Uniform, Gauss, Gamma and Chi-square distributions.
02.03 Functions of random variables and their probability density functions: modulus, power and square.

03. Analysis of univariate random variables:
03.01 Measures of location and spread: median, average and variance.
03.02 Tchebyshev Theorem.
03.03 Average and variance of Bernoulli, Gauss, Gamma and Chi-square distributions.

Teaching, Attendance, Course Books and Assessment

Teaching

Theory lectures and exercises, both face-to face and on-line.

Attendance

Although recommended, course attendance is not mandatory.

Course books

Lupini, "Lezioni di Probabilità e Statistica", Quattroventi, 2007.

Baldi, "Calcolo delle Probabilità e Statistica", McGraw-Hill, 1998.

W. Navidi, "Statistics", Mc Graw-Hill.

Assessment

Oral exam.

Disability and Specific Learning Disorders (SLD)

Students who have registered their disability certification or SLD certification with the Inclusion and Right to Study Office can request to use conceptual maps (for keywords) during exams.

To this end, it is necessary to send the maps, two weeks before the exam date, to the course instructor, who will verify their compliance with the university guidelines and may request modifications.

Notes

The course is offered both face-to-face and on-line within the Laurea Degree Program in Applied Computer Science.
