Course objectives
The aim of the subject is:
to acquaint students with the basic concepts of descriptive statistics and probability;
to show students interesting examples that they can later use in their teaching practice;
to teach students to use the STATISTICA system.
Learning outcomes
After completing this course, students
- can obtain information from the data file in the form of tables, graphs and numerical characteristics;
- understand the basic concepts of probability, such as classical, geometric and conditional probability;
- are able to use important discrete and continuous probability distributions in appropriate situations;
- can calculate the mean, variance, covariance and correlation coefficient of discrete and continuous random variables;
- will have a good knowledge of STATISTICA system.
Syllabus
  • Descriptive statistics. Basic and sample file, scalar and vector variables, functional and numerical characteristics of these variables.
  • Theory of probability. Empirical law of large numbers, axiomatic definition of probability, basic properties of probability, classical, geometrical and conditional probability, stochastic independet events.
  • Random variables and random vectors, discrete and continuous distributions. Transformations of random variables. Quantil, expected value, variance, covariance, correlation coefficient. Law of large numbers, central limit theorem.

Teaching methods
The weekly class schedule consists of 2 hour lecture and 2 hours of class exercises with special statistical software.
Assessment methods
During the semester, students write two tests in the form of a ROPOT. The examination is written with "open book". It consists of four examples. The examination is scored 100 points. To successfully pass the exam, 51 points will suffice.

Teacher's information
In this semester, teaching will take place remotely. Videos with lectures in the form of annotated slides will be placed in the Teaching Materials. Students will go through the examples of exercises themselves, they will have assignments and solutions available. To solve some examples it is necessary to use the STATISTICA system. Instructions will also be in the Learning Materials. During the time reserved for teaching in the schedule, consultations will take place via MS Teams. (Installation of STATISTICA software is available at https://inet.muni.cz/app/soft/licence)
