Chapter 1: Discrete random variables, starts with various problems described by Bernoulli, binomial, and Poisson distributions, their characteristics of mean and variance illustrated via mechanical and social measurements, examples of mode for a shoe store manager and median for a buyer, St. Petersburgh paradox, birthday problem, and raisin in a cookie, to mention just a few of them. Introduction to the R language is given too, with basics of coding, objects, scripts, loops, vectorized computations, commands, functions, and numerous examples, such as generation of random numbers for the popular mathematical puzzle Sudoku.
