• knowledge of important discrete and continuous distributions such as Binomial, Poisson, Geometric, Negative Binomial and Hyper-geometric, normal, uniform, exponential, beta and gamma distributions,
• acumen to apply standard discrete and continuous probability distributions to different situations.
• Plots of distribution functions for some important discrete and continuous distributions
• Fitting of binomial, Poisson, geometric, hypergeometric and negative binomial distributions and computation of expected frequencies, mean variance, m.g.f.
• Fitting of normal, exponential, gamma,and beta distributions and computation of expected frequencies, mean variance, m.g.f.
• Use the normal probability distribution including standard normal curve calculations of appropriate areas.
