Objective This course, which is offered as a compulsory course in the program, will help students perceive the basic concepts of probability theory and achieve proficiency in using the methods related to this discipline (probabilities of events, rules regarding random variables and the concept of moment, transformations of random variables, Gauss' suggestions). In this context, the objectives of the course are determined as follows:
• Introduce the student to the concept of probability, especially random variables in relation to uncertain events.
• To ensure that students master different probability distributions
• To enable students to benefit from probability theory in the problems they may encounter in the business world, especially in the analysis of uncertainty.
Content Week 1: Course introduction and introduction to probability
Week 2: Probability of an event, probability axioms, conditional probability, independent events, Bayes theorem
Week 3: Random variables and probability distributions
Week 4: Probability distribution function, probability mass function, probability density function
Week 5: Expected value, variance and standard deviation
Week 6: Two and higher dimensional random variables
Week 7: Moments
Week 8: Midterm Exam
Week 9: Some important discrete distributions
Week 10: Some important discrete distributions (continued)
Week 11: Some important discrete distributions (continued)
Week 12: Some important sustained distributions
Week 13: Some important continuous distributions (continued)
Week 14: Some important continuous distributions (continued)
Course Learning Outcomes The student who successfully completes this course:
1. Explain the relationship between set theory and probability axioms.
2. Can distinguish different functions of random variables.
3. Describe the characteristics of random variables.
4. List the important discrete and continuous distributions.
5. Apply probability theory to real life examples with the help of probability distribution functions.
