4. Characteristics of random variables.

5. Discrete random variable - examples and usage.

6. Continuous random variable - examples and usage.

7. Independence of random variables, sum of independent random variables.

8. Transformation of random variables.

9. Random vector, covariance and correlation.

10. Central limit theorem.

11. Random sampling and basic statistics.

12. Point estimation, method of maximum likelihood and method of moments, confidence intervals.

13. Confidence intervals.
