Course detail

Applied Statistics

FP-EasPAcad. year: 2024/2025

The objective of the course is to learn students with basic principles of mathematical statistics, econometric models, categorical analysis, statistical process control methods and their use in management of company processes.
Students will acquire the knowledge which allows them to use statistical methods at such a theoretical and practical level which allow them to process and perform correct data evaluation and develop the awareness and abilities of students to use statistical methods to manage of company processes.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

COURSE COMPLETION
The course-unit credit is awarded on the following conditions (max. 40 points):
- submitting answers to calculating problems and theoretical questions.

The exam (max. 60 points)
- has a written form.
In the first part of the exam student solves 4 examples within 80 minutes. In the second part of the exam student works out answers to 3 theoretical questions within 15 minutes.

The mark, which corresponds to the total sum of points achieved (max. 100 points), consists of:
- points achieved in control tests, points achieved to calculating questions and theoretical questions,
- points achieved by solving examples,
- points achieved by answering theoretical questions.

The grades and corresponding points:
A (100-90), B (89-80), C (79-70), D (69-61), E (59-50), F (49-0).
