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.
Learning outcomes
After graduation of the course student should be able to:
- use and interpret functional and numeric characteristics within a framework of descriptive statistics
- describe types of variables with respect to measurement scale
- quantify randomness in elementary setting by probability
- use and properly interpret distributional function, probability function and density function
- determine in mathematical statistics popular distributions with respect to the application context
