Knowledge
Use competently basic probability and statistical methods.
Understand the substance of these methods enough to be able to choose suitable method for concrete real situation, to verify the preconditions of its applicability.
Apply such method correctly and to interpret its results back in practice.
In the real situation student will be able to understand substantial circumstances of the examined random variables (from the point of view of the given purpose). Then by using probability and statistics he or she will be able to pursue analysis, synthesis, assessment and conclusion, including high quality presentation and warning about the limits of the probability deductions.
Skills
select suitable method for sample file creation
calculate characteristics of statistics file
determine probability of simple events and probability of combination of events
describe random variable using distribution and calculate moments of random variable
select suitable distribution of random variable and use it for solution of practical problems
use normal and stnadard normal distribution, quantils and table values of distribution function
apply consequences of Central limit theorem for solution of selected probloems
estimate parameters of population using point estimation, construct interval estimation of these parematers
