Condition
The goal Introducing students to the basic methods of probability theory in discrete and continuous models: combinatorial problems, conditional probability, random variables, their vectors, conditional distributions, and numerical characteristics of random variables.
The outcome Understanding applications of methods of Probability in solving problems from real world. Enabling students to solve simple real world problems, applying the methods of Probability, determining the correct mathematical model.
