(10:00am EST) Intro to Probability
Starts
A little bit about me! I just graduated high school and I'm excited to offer this short course in statistics. I scored a 5 on the AP Statistics exam last year and I also have experience in Discrete Mathematics.
This summer course offers a mathematically rigorous yet accessible introduction to probability.
Students will explore:
- Basic probability and sample spaces
- Simulations and the Law of Large Numbers
- Compound and conditional probability
- Bayes' Theorem
- Discrete probability distributions, including binomial models
The course consists of six main sessions, each one hour long, having a clear, structured lecture followed by guided example problems. A seventh and final session will offer a comprehensive review and a set of cumulative problems to reinforce learning and retention. After each session, lecture notes as well as optional review materials will be provided to help students revisit key ideas at their own pace.
Ideal for students preparing for AP Statistics, Discrete Mathematics, or anyone curious about the subject of probability.
