Quality Policy: regulatory bodies and other service providers through the continual improvement of the quality
management system.

The College of Education shall be the center for training, research and extension programs for
College Goal: effective, morally, socially, culturally and environmentally-responsible educational leaders
committed in pursuing academic excellence.

Produce effective secondary school teachers of Languages, Sciences, Mathematics and Social
Program Sciences equipped with teaching, research and extension competencies essential for the
Objectives: development of morally, socially, culturally and environmentally-responsible problem solvers and
lifelong learners.

The course is an introductory course in probability covering axiomatic probability space, discrete
Course and continuous random variables, special distributions, mathematical expectation, conditional
Description probability and independence, multivariate distributions, Laws of Large numbers, and the Central
Limit Theorem.

compound.
FINAL GRADE = (final term grade x 70%) + (midterm grade x 30%)
5. Plagiarism and vandalism are strictly prohibited and punishable.
