Basic Probability Using R

This is an introductory course in basic probability theory. It covers the foundations of probability, random variables, expectation and variance, discrete and continuous distributions, conditional probability, multivariate distributions, the Central Limit Theorem, random walks, and game theory. Strong emphasis is placed on computation and simulation, using the statistical software R, and the course presents a gentle introduction to programming. Students cannot count both this course and STAT E-110 toward a degree or certificate.
