course aims in Estonian
1) süvendada teadmisi juhuslike nähtuste seaduspärasuste kohta ning anda oskusi nende seaduspärasuste kindlaks tegemiseks;
2) arendada matemaatilise statistika meetoditega andmete töötlemise oskusi.
course aims in English
1) to deepen knowledge about the laws of random phenomena and give ability to identify them;
2) to develop skills for data processing by means of methods of mathematical statistics.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Aine läbinud üliõpilane:
- tunneb tõenäosusteooria põhimõisteid, tehteid sündmustega ja oskab arvutada vastavaid tõenäosusi;
- tunneb juhusliku suuruse, selle jaotusfunktsiooni, arvkarakteristikute mõisteid nii üldisel kui ka klassikalistel erijuhtudel;
- tunneb matemaatilise statistika põhimõisteid;
- oskab leida punkt- ja vahemikhinnanguid;
- oskab kontrollida statistilisi hüpoteese;
- oskab leida Pearsoni ja Spearmani korrelatsioonikordajaid;
- oskab kasutada vähimruutude meetodit regressioonivõrrandite leidmisel.
