Overview

Module Objective:
To give an introduction to probability and statistics.

Counting methods. Introduction to probability. Discrete and continuous random variables. Means and variances. The Normal distribution. The Central Limit Theorem. Confidence limits and hypothesis testing. Consideration of how these topics could be taught in a second level classroom.

	Learning Outcomes
	On successful completion of the module, students should be able to: Apply combinatorial methods to calculate probabilities. Calculate probabilities for outcomes of random variables with the standard distributions. State and apply the Central Limit Theorem. Test statistical hypotheses. Calculate confidence intervals. Demonstrate how this subject could be taught in a second level classroom.

Learning Outcomes
