Inträde för gästanvändare
Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

After completing the course, the participant

  • Can compute the expected value of a random number as an integral with respect to a probability measure
  • Can compute probabilities related to independent random variables by using a product measure
  • Recognizes different types of convergence of a random sequence
  • Can explain how and when a random sum can be approximated by a Gaussian distribution
  • Can represent conditional probabilities with respect to the information content of a sigma-algebra
