Probability

Axioms, conditionals, random variables, limits. Later headings open after the one before. Set up and compute probability problems — conditional, discrete and continuous random variables, expectation — as a first course does.

Pick where you want to start

Each heading is its own course. Later ones open when you finish — or skip — the one before. A later course does not reteach earlier bands.

  1. Counting and axioms

    Start here

    Set up a sample space, use counting when it helps, and apply the axioms including complements and unions.

  2. Conditional probability

    After Counting and axioms — test out to unlock

    Use the definition, Bayes, and independence on a two-stage problem without mixing them.

  3. Discrete random variables

    After Conditional probability — test out to unlock

    Work Bernoulli, binomial, and geometric, including PMF, CDF, and a simple expectation.

  4. Continuous random variables

    After Discrete random variables — test out to unlock

    Use a PDF and CDF for uniform and exponential, and compute a probability as an integral.

  5. Expectation and variance

    After Continuous random variables — test out to unlock

    Compute E and Var, including linearity, and use them on a sum of independent variables.

  6. Limit theorems

    After Expectation and variance — test out to unlock

    State LLN and CLT in a form you can use, and apply a normal approximation with a check that n is large enough.

What this is for

  1. 01

    Set up a sample space, use counting when it helps, and apply the axioms including complements and unions.

  2. 02

    Use the definition, Bayes, and independence on a two-stage problem without mixing them.

  3. 03

    Work Bernoulli, binomial, and geometric, including PMF, CDF, and a simple expectation.

Why a path, not a playlist

Axioms, conditionals, random variables, limits. Later headings open after the one before.

Each heading is its own course with a tutor. Later headings open when you finish — or test out of — the one before.

After you sign in

  • You land on this map — every heading is already there.
  • Take the open class, or test out of a later heading to unlock it.
  • Each heading is one shared course — same syllabus and first class for everyone. Later classes continue on your copy.
