Statistics 100A: Introduction to Probability Theory

Announcements

For the course syllabus click here.

Useful links:

For some of the labs you will need to access the Statistics Online Computational Resource (SOCR) at:
  • http://www.socr.ucla.edu

    It's online, therefore it exists!

    The labs are listed under the following link (instructions will be given as to which lab is due when etc. - mainly distributions and experiments activities):
