Course objectives
The course consists of descriptive statistics and principles of probability theory. The tutorials include motivation of the elementary concepts, key statements and calculation of typical examples. The topics follow a fixed procedure: descriptive statistical characteristics of nominal, ordinal, interval and proportional indicators; regression line; the basic properties of probability, stochastic independence of phenomena, conditional probability; random variables and vectors, their discrete and continuous type; joint distribution and stochastic independence of random variables; characteristics of random variables; asymptotic expressions; normal and other exact distributions.

At the end of this course, students should be able to:
understand terms from probability and statistics; correctly present real data; apply basics of probability to simple real situations.
Syllabus

  • 3. Conditional probability, total probability rule, examples.
  • 4. Prior and posterior probabilities, Bayes' theorem, examples.
  • 5. Descriptive statistics, quantitative variables, qualitative variables; frequency distributions in tables and graphs, examples of data sets.
  • 6. Functional characteristics and numerical descriptive measures for univariate and multivariate quantitative variables, examples.
  • 7. Random variable, distribution function and its properties, discrete and continous variable, transformation of random variable.
  • 8. Discrete probability distribution, probability function and its properties; continuous probability distribution, probability density and its properties; random vector and its functional characteristics.
