MAT 546 - Probability and Statistical Inference


This course emphasizes the NCTM standards for probability and statistics as outlined in its Principles and Standards: to formulate questions that can be addressed with data, and to collect, organize, and display relevant data in order to answer these questions; to select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data; to develop and evaluate inferences and predictions based on that data; and to understand and apply the foundational concepts of probability and statistics. Topics include probability models, random variables, univariate and multivariate distributions, mathematical expectation, the moment-generating function, sampling distribution theory, estimation, statistical hypotheses, and the theory of statistical inference.
