Many mathematical problems lead to definite answers. This course considers problems for which there often is no definite answer, but which are, nevertheless, subject to logical analysis. These notions are applicable to a wide variety of problems in games of chance and in physical, biological and social sciences, and to many other areas of human endeavour. The purpose of this course is to teach the basic concepts and some elementary methods in probability and statistical inferences and to encourage valid decision making by addressing appropriate methods of data collection and analysis.
