AC 2303 - AS Lab I: Applications of Probability3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits Course Description This course covers the applications of the probability concepts and theory that students learned in MA 2630 and MA 2631 . The students will apply the tools they learned in these two probability courses to problems encountered in actuarial science for assessing risk. (prereq: MA 2631 ) Course Learning Outcomes Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Calculate probabilities of mutually exclusive events
- Calculate probabilities using addition and multiplication rules
- Calculate probabilities using combinations and permutations
- Calculate conditional probabilities
- Use Bayes theorem to calculate probabilities
- Apply probability mass, probability density, and cumulative distribution functions
- Calculate expected value, mode, median, variance, and standard deviation
- Calculate probabilities using probability generating and moment generating functions
- Perform calculations concerning joint probability and probability density functions, and cumulative distribution functions
- Determine conditional and marginal probability and probability density functions, cumulative distribution functions
- Calculate moments for joint, conditional and marginal random variables
- Apply joint moment generating functions
- Calculate variance and standard deviation for conditional and marginal probability distributions
- Calculate joint moments, such as covariance and correlation coefficient
