Personal selling occurs when a company representative interacts directly with a customer or prospective customer to present information about a product or service. It is a process of developing relationships, discovering needs, matching the appropriate products with these needs, and communicating benefits through informing, reminding, or persuading. Preparation for a career in personal selling begins with the development of a personal philosophy or set of beliefs that provides guidance. To some degree, this philosophy is like the rudder that steers a ship. Without a rudder, the ship’s direction is unpredictable. Without a personal philosophy, the salesperson’s behavior also is unpredictable.

This course introduces students to basic laws of probability, continuous and discrete random variables, and special probability distributions. By the end of this module, students should be able to apply basic laws of probability and probability distributions in solving various biological and physical problems.
In this course, a student will be taken through revision on probability mass function; probability density functions: definition and rules, cumulative distribution functions, mean, median variance, standard deviation and coefficient of variation; Joint probability distribution functions: Marginal probability functions, conditional probability distribution functions and independent random variables; Expectations, Moment generating functions and moments, Cumulant generating functions and cumulants; Characteristic functions; Function of random variables and convolution.
