This list is in no particular order. It is advisable that if newer editions of these are available, students should opt for them because they will include any update in the syllabus and will also be the most up to date which will help you in your preparations a lot. The entire syllabus of the syllabus covers a lot of ground. The field of probability and statistics is ever-growing with newer additions to this field thanks to the success in the research fields. Probability and statistics find its use in many fields, and therefore its applications are many and still counting.
Students when preparing for their exams should keep in mind that the entire syllabus is interconnected, so it does require constant effort from their side. The syllabus is divided into five units. Each unit is a point of discussion in itself. Students should definitely look and make note that they are familiar with the topics and the understanding of the topic as well.
Random variables — Discrete and continuous. Mathematical Expectation, Moment about the origin, Central moments Moment generating function of a probability distribution. Moment generating functions of the above three distributions, and hence finding the mean and variance. The covariance of two random variables, Correlation Coefficient of correlation, The rank correlation.
Sampling: Definitions of population, sampling, statistic, parameter. Types of sampling, Expected values of Sample mean and variance, sampling distribution, Standard error, the sampling distribution of mean and the sampling distribution of variance. Student t-distribution, its properties; Test of significant difference between the sample mean and population mean; the difference between means of two small samples. Test of equality of two population variances.
Introduction to Stochastic Processes — Classification of Random processes, Methods of the description of random processes, Stationary and non-stationary random processes, Average values of single random processes and two or more random processes.
The objective of the course is to familiarise the students with the important concepts of probability and statistics such as random variable, binomial and Poisson distribution, sampling, estimation, hypothesis, queuing and random processes.
Here is a list of some commonly asked theoretical problems of probability and statistics. Students can be asked to answer them in their exam papers and also during interviews.
Keep in mind that these are basic entry-level questions to give you a better sense of the subject and what pattern does the examination paper follow-. Answer: Probability is the study of the possibility of any event in a random experiment. We calculate the probability to determine the possibility that an event occurs or not. Equally likely events — These are events which have a similar probability of occurring.
For example, during a coin toss, the probability of heads or tails is equal, i. Complementary events — Events which are opposite of each other. Example of a complimentary event is will it rain or not tomorrow. Answer: The normal distribution is a distribution that follows a bell curve. In a normal distribution, there is a symmetry about the centre.
At the centre point lies the mean, median and mode. Half the values are above and below this mean value. In nature, a perfect normal distribution may not exist, but some cases tend towards this normal distribution. For example- Heights of people, marks on a test etc. Concepts of the normal distribution are used to find values like standard deviation about the mean and z-core. These are commonly asked in the examination.
