Thank you, Alain and Chris!

OK, you might not expect management students to be at the same level as maths or engineering students, but it's all quite basic statistics. I stick to my original suggestion: "More on probabilities"!

Hello Jessica,

<p>Using a verbatim Google search for "compléments de probabilités et distributions d'échantillonnage", I located this syllabus for what seems to be an intermediate level undergraduate management statistics course that is very close, if not an exact match, to your source document.

<p>http://iae.univ-lyon3.fr/25230000-gestion-et-statistiques-15...

<p>This particular course calls for completion of prior course work covering notions of descriptive statistics and probabilities and states being able to interpret survey results as a course objective. This would seem to validate my earlier assumption that the course syllabus you are working on does in fact refer to a field of applied statistics and, as such, provides what is considered a complement to more general notions previously covered elsewhere.

What's being described is first-year or introductory statistics. Apparently it's being assumed that the student has a rudimentary knowledge of probabilities, and this is to be amplified in the course by the "compléments", sampling distributions, estimates of the mean, etc.

Hi, Nikki, I received the document without the name of the university on it, and the course was just called "Statistics." Here is the entire verbatim entry for the course:
"Statistics
1. compléments de probabilités et distributions d'échantillonnage

2. estimation d'une proportion, d'une moyenne et d'une variance

3. tests
3.1 sur la valeur d'un paramètre
3.2 de comparaison
3.3 non paramétriques"

Hello Jessica,
Are you able to divulge the name of the institution and the title of the course?
