Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to:
- understand and explain the basic terms in the calculus of probability and in descriptive statistics;
- apply the probability terms and the descriptive statistics terms to the description of economic events and data;
- use the terminology in the follow-up course of mathematical statistics.
Learning outcomes
After graduation of the course student should be able to:
- use and interpret functional and quantitative characteristics within a framework of descriptive statistics
- describe types of variables concerning measurement scale
- via probability quantify randomness in elementary situations
- use and correctly interpret distribution function, probability function and density function
- determine appropriate distributions concerning the application context
