Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

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.
