What you’ll be able to do

  • Identify and interpret basic concepts of probability, including random variables, and conditional probability, expectation, and variance

  • Analyze probability models such as the Markov chains, the exponential distribution, Poisson processes, and queuing models

  • Identify, formulate, and develop solution techniques for problems that can be modeled by stochastic models in various domains (engineering, computer science, supply chains, healthcare systems, operations research)

  • Recognize how and when to apply each type of probability model

  • Formulate mathematical formulations and apply proof techniques
