Random sample, point and interval estimations of parameters.
Hypothesis testing.iables: two-dimensional integrals, three-dimensional integrals,
line integral of the first and the second kind.
Probabilities of random events: axioms of probability,
conditional probability, independence. Random variables: discrete random
variables, continuous random variables, expected values. Important practical
distributions of discrete and continuous random variables.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to provide theoretical and practical foundation for understanding of the meaning of basic
probability terms and teach the student to statistical thinking as a way of understanding of the processes and
events around us, to acquaint him with the basic methods of statistical data gathering and analyzing, and to show
how to use these general procedures in other subjects of study and in practice.

Graduates of this course should be able to:
• understand and use the basic terms of combinatorics and probability theory;
• formulate questions that can be answered by the data, learn the principles of data collecting, processing and
presenting;
• select and use appropriate statistical methods for data analysis;
• propose and evaluate conclusions (inferences) and predictions using the data.
