Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this course.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
After completing the course the student will be able to use basic terms of descriptive statistics. He will understand the problems of statistical surveys and will be able to process data on nominal variables, too. He will know the differences between simple and interval frequency distribution and he will also recognizes, in which case the simple frequency distribution is uśed for representation of the frequency distribution and in which case the interval frequency distribution (including graphical representation of the frequency distribution). Students will be able to measure the location, variability, skewness and kurtosis of frequency distribution. He will be able to use the basic terms of probability theory, to know the operations with random phenomena and to know the prnciples of computation of probability random phenomenon. In the field of random variable, students will know some named discrete and continuous probability distributions and the selected limit theorems. They will know the definition of statistic and the definition of random sample.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge of basics of descriptive statistics and theory of probability. Ability to work with data sets.
