Summary
The subject Mathematical Statistics follows up on probability theory. It uses tools of probability to present estimation of population parameters, hypothesis testing, modelling of technological processes with regression models and their assessment by correlation analysis. Multivariate regression is taught under the necessary theoretical conditions. Correlation analysis shows ways of measuring dependence for various types of variables.
