Following modules MA137 (Mathematical Analysis) and MA138 (Sets and Numbers), this builds your knowledge by introducing key notions of probability and developing your ability to calculate using probabilities and expectations. You will experiment with random outcomes through the notion of events and their probability, and look at examples of discrete and continuous probability spaces. You will learn counting methods (inclusion–exclusion formula and binomial coefficients), and study theoretical topics including conditional probability and Bayes’ Theorem. Later, you will scrutinise important families of distributions and the distribution of random variables, and the light this shines on the properties of expectations. Finally, you will examine mean, variance and co-variance of distribution, through Chebyshev's and Cauchy-Schwartz inequalities. Mathematical Techniques Anson, Denis K. (2018). "Chapter5.

Usually, speeds are stated in words per minute. That introduces ambiguity because words have different numbers of characters, and characters have different dit lengths. It is not immediately clear how a specific word rate determines the dit duration in milliseconds.

Prosigns for Morse code are special (usually) unwritten procedural signals or symbols that are used to indicate changes in communications protocol status or white space text formatting actions. An important application is signalling for help through SOS, " ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄". This can be sent many ways: keying a radio on and off, flashing a mirror, toggling a flashlight, and similar methods. The SOS signal is not sent as three separate characters; rather, it is a prosign SOS, and is keyed without gaps between characters. [45] Instructions for Learning International Morse Characters. War Department. 1943. pp.52, 68–72. TM 11-459.

The relatively limited speed at which Morse code can be sent led to the development of an extensive number of abbreviations to speed communication. These include prosigns, Q codes, and a set of Morse code abbreviations for typical message components. For example, CQ is broadcast to be interpreted as "seek you" (I'd like to converse with anyone who can hear my signal). The abbreviations OM (old man), YL (young lady), and XYL ("ex-young lady" – wife) are common. YL or OM is used by an operator when referring to the other operator ( regardless of their actual age), and XYL or OM (rather than the expected XYM) is used by an operator when referring to his or her spouse. QTH is "transmitting location" (spoken "my Q.T.H." is "my location"). The use of abbreviations for common terms permits conversation even when the operators speak different languages.

Preissle), Academic Press, San Diego, CA, pp. 405–46. For the Greek letter Ψ, Greek Morse code uses the International Morse code for Q, ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄, which has no corresponding letter in modern Greek; note that Ψ and Q have no historical, phonetic, or shape relationship. The time needed to transmit the word PARIS is typically used as the standard "word" for calculating the "word per minute" rate. Other standard "words" such as COMEX are also used.

To ensure that the stations the pilots are using are serviceable, the stations transmit a set of identification letters (usually a two-to-five-letter version of the station name) in Morse code. Station identification letters are shown on air navigation charts. For example, the VOR-DME based at Vilo Acuña Airport in Cayo Largo del Sur, Cuba is identified by " UCL", and Morse code UCL is repeatedly transmitted on its radio frequency.

It is common to assume that a word is 5characters long. There are two common typical words: PARIS and CODEX. PARIS mimics a word rate that is typical of natural language words and reflects the benefits of Morse code's shorter code durations for common characters such as E and T. CODEX offers a word rate that is typical of 5letter code groups (sequences of random letters). Using the word PARIS as a standard, the number of dit units is 50 and a simple calculation shows that the dit length at 20words per minute is 60milliseconds. Using the word CODEX with 60dit units, the dit length at 20words per minute is 50milliseconds. Leininger, M. (1969) Ethnoscience: a promising research approach to improve nursing practice.
