These Lecture Slide Notes have been used for a two-quarter graduate
level sequence in probability covering discrete and continuous
probability in two separate volumes. Although reasonably
self-contained, they do not constitute a formal exposition on the
subject; rather the intent is to provide a concise and accessible
format for reference and self-study. In this regard, each slide
stands alone to encapsulate a complete concept, algorithm, or
theorem, using a combination of equations, graphs, diagrams, and
comparison tables. The explanatory notes are placed directly below
each slide in order to reinforce key concepts and give additional
insights. A Table of Contents serves to organize the slides by
topic and gives a complete list of slide titles and their page
numbers. An index is also provided in order to link related aspects
of topics and also to cross-reference key concepts, specific
applications, and the abundant visual aids. This book constitutes
the first volume on discrete probability; a second volume will
cover continuous probability. Part 1 covers counting with and
without replacement, axiomatic probability models, computation
techniques, conditional, joint, marginal, and Bayesian update
probabilities. The concept of a random variable (RV) is fully
characterized by a discrete probability mass function (PMF) and a
quasi-continuous cumulative distribution function (CDF). A
numerical characterization of a RV is given by the mean, variance,
and expectation value. Pairs of RVs give way to new concepts such
as independence, covariance, and the effects of linear and
bi-linear transformations. Common discrete probability mass
functions (PMFs) are discussed in terms of related pairs, tree
diagrams, and algebraic representations.
