Course detail

Statistics and Probability

FSI-CS1Acad. year: 2023/2024

The subject is aimed at introduce of students to descriptive statistics, random events, probability, random variables and vectors, probability distributions, random sample, parameters estimation, tests of hypotheses, and linear regression analysis. The practices include problems and applications in mechanical engineering. A part of exercises will solving by means of statistical software.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Seminar credit conditions: active attendance in practices, encompassment of complete subject, classification sufficient or better of written exam and admission of semester assignment. Examination (written form): practical part (2 examples from theory of probability: probability and its properties, random variable, distribution Bi, H, Po, N and discrete random vector; 2 examples from mathematical statistics: point and interval estimates of parameters, tests of hypotheses of distribution and parameters, linear regression model) with own summary of formula; theoretical part (4 questions to basic notions, their properties, sense and practical use); evaluation: each example 0 as far as 20 points and every theoretical question 0 as far as 5 points; classification according to of the total sum of points: excellent (90 - 100 points), very good (80 - 89 points), good (70 - 79 points), satisfactory (60 - 69 points), sufficient (50 - 59 points), failed (0 - 49 points).


Attendance at seminars is controlled and the teacher decides on the compensation for absences.

Aims

Acquaint of students with basic notions, methods and progresses of probability theory, descriptive statistics and mathematical statistics. Formalization of stochastic way thinking for modeling of real phenomenon and processes in an engineering enclosures.
Students obtain needed knowledge from the probability theory, descriptive statistics and mathematical statistics, which them will enable understand and apply stochastic models of technical phenomenon and suits, based upon these methods.
