Required Textbook: Hunter College of The City University of New York

This document outlines a probability theory course that will be taught over 15 weeks. Students will learn basic probability principles like counting, axioms of probability, and random variables. They will study topics such as conditional probability, independence, discrete and continuous random variables, and the law of large numbers. The required textbook is A First Course in Probability by Sheldon Ross. Exams will test both undergraduate and graduate students, with graduate problems weighted more heavily.

STAT 311/701

Probability Theory

3 hrs, 3 cr

Required textbook

A First Course in Probability (eighth edition) by Sheldon Ross,


ISBN 978 0 -13 603313 - 4.

Learning outcomes

Students will learn basic principles of counting, axioms of probability, random variables, and fundamental limit theorems. After taking this class students should be able to compute probabilities of events, to understand and
apply the concepts of conditional probability and independence, to understand and apply the concepts of discrete and continuous random variables
and compute their moments, as well as learn and apply the law of large
numbers and the central limit theorem.
Exam problems have different weights for the STAT 311 and STAT 701
students; graduate students are required to address more problems.
However, undergraduates who give solutions for the STAT 701 problems will
receive the respective extra
credit.
