Mathematical (Actuarial) Statistics:(Exam P/CT3/CS1)

By MJ the Fellow Actuary

Statistics is all about processing data and extracting information. The information we seek is the parameters and distribution of the random variable that generated the data. Armed with this information we can answer questions about reality and optimize industrial processes. Statistics thus forms the backbone of science and business and this course is designed to help you understand the components of this fundamental subject and how they all fit together. Designed for Actuaries, but applicable for everyone. This course contains the new sections for the CS1 exam.
