Department: 17110 Credits: 4 Semester: W
Description:
Objectives: to familiarize students with the basic principles of the theory of probability and mathematical statistics.
Pre-requisites and entry requirements of the course: Knowledge of mathematics (linear algebra, differential and integral calculus) in the range of F7PBBLAD and F7PBBITP courses taught in the first year of study.
Knowledge, skills, abilities and competencies: The student is acquainted with the probabilistic model, basic definitions of Kolmogorov theory of probability and inductive statistics. The student can apply these definitions to practical problems that arise in other areas of professional work and can explain them sufficiently (e.g. doctors). The student is familiar with the basic methods of inductive statistics and can choose a suitable method for standard statistical problems.
