Learning activities and teaching methods
unspecified, Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing), Dialogic (discussion, interview, brainstorming), Work with text (with textbook, with book)
  • Home preparation for classes - 36 hours per semester
  • Preparation for an exam - 40 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The aim of the subject is to supplement, deepen and expand the knowledge from the theory of probability and mathematical statistics obtained in the previous study with an emphasis on their application in practice.

Prerequisites
Passing the basic course of probability and statistics with annotation corresponding to the basic course of probability and statistics from IT bachelor study. Knowledge of basic distributions, characteristics of random variable and random vector, point and interval estimates, testing of statistical hypotheses and linear regression are assumed.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination, Home assignment evaluation, Student performance assessment

Obtaining credit from the subject is conditional upon successfully passing a written test - at least 50% of success and writing a semester work.
