Statistics Syllabus: Basic to Advanced

Welcome to your complete Statistics learning roadmap. This page shows the full journey β€” from the very basics of describing data all the way to advanced limit theorems. Use it as a checklist while you study.

How to Use This Syllabus

Start from Section 1 and move in order. Master each topic with examples and practice before going further. This sequence builds a strong foundation step by step.

1. Descriptive Statistics Foundation

Learn how to summarise and describe data clearly.

Measures of Central Tendency

  • Arithmetic Mean
  • Median
  • Mode

Measures of Dispersion

  • Range
  • Variance
  • Standard Deviation

Relationship Measures

  • Covariance
  • Correlation
  • Properties of Covariance and Correlation
2. Random Variables Core

Understand the numerical outcomes of random experiments.

  • Discrete Random Variables
  • Continuous Random Variables
  • Probability Mass Function (PMF)
  • Probability Density Function (PDF)
  • Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF)
3. Probability Distributions Important

Discrete Distributions

  • Bernoulli Distribution
  • Binomial Distribution
  • Poisson Distribution

Continuous Distributions

  • Uniform Distribution
  • Exponential Distribution
  • Normal Distribution
  • Standard Normal Distribution
4. Joint Probability Distributions Advanced Basics

Study two or more random variables together.

  • Joint Distributions
  • Marginal Distributions
  • Conditional Distributions
  • Independence of Random Variables
5. Mathematical Expectation Key Theory

Learn the long-run average behaviour of random variables.

  • Expected Value of a Random Variable
  • Properties of Expectation
  • Variance of a Random Variable
  • Properties of Variance
  • Conditional Expectation
  • Conditional Variance
6. Limit Theorems Advanced

Powerful results that help us approximate distributions for large samples.

  • Central Limit Theorem (CLT)
  • Applications of the Central Limit Theorem
Suggested Study Order
