The MATH0365: Foundation Probability and Statistics module equips you with the statistical and probabilistic tools necessary to analyse business and economic data. Through this module, you'll gain hands-on experience in processing data to generate informative visualisations like histograms. You'll also develop the ability to calculate key statistical measures like mean, median, and standard deviation (as demonstrated here: mean = μ, median = M, standard deviation = σ) which are crucial for understanding the central tendency and variability of data. Furthermore, the module introduces you to concepts like probability distributions, specifically the binomial distribution, which equip you to analyse the likelihood of events in business and economic settings.

Main topics to be covered:

Data summary:
- Histograms
- Stem-and-leaf diagrams
- Box plots
Measures of location and dispersion
Probability:
- Sample space
- Exclusive and complementary events
- Conditional probability
- Independent events
