Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes	Extension and generalization of concepts taught in MAF331 and MAF43# Creation of a suitable base for deepening the scope of Statistical Science. At the end of the course the student should be able to: Model procedures and situations that occur in everyday reality or in other scientific areas in the Theory of Probability. Understand the basic limit theorems of Probability Theory (laws of large numbers, central limit theorem) and use them for approximating probability calculations. Find the distribution of a function of random variables. Make basic calculations of probability, averages, dispersions, etc., in problems involving randomness with more than one random variable.
General Competences	Working independently Decision-making Production of free, creative and inductive thinking Criticism and self-criticism
