  • ACT SCI 2101: Actuarial Probability and Statistics

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    This course covers the tools for quantitatively assessing risk as presented on Society of Actuaries Exam P/Casualty Actuarial Society Course 1. Topics include: general probability (set functions, basic axioms, independence); Bayes’ Theorem; univariate probability distributions (probabilities, moments, variance, mode, percentiles, and transformations); multivariate probability distributions (joint, conditional, and marginal distributions—probabilities, moments, variance, and covariance); and basic asymptotic results.

    Note: This course replaces the Statistics 2101 (C021) or 2103 Business Foundation requirement for Actuarial Science majors. Prerequisite:    MATH 1041 (C085)/1941 (H095), 1042 (0086)/1942 (H096), and 2043 (0127) (or equivalents); and ACT SCI 1501/1901 (0001/0091) with a minimum grade of C in ACT SCI 1501/1901 (0001/0091)
