Learning outcomes: Knowledge: The student knows various types of statistical graphs, understands basic notions of probability theory such as: random event, random variable, independence of random variables; knows methods of statistical inference, understands the notion of the linear regression model and methods of inference in this model. Skills The student can compute summary statistics and create statistical graphs, he/she can calculate the probability of a random event in a probability model corresponding to a discrete random variable or to a random variable of a continuous type; he/she can estimate parameters and test hypotheses in the normal model; can test hypotheses regarding proportion and calculate confidence interval for proportion; he/she can use the linear regression model for assessing dependance between variables. Social competences He/she is prepared for using statistical methods in life and social sciences. He/she understands the need of the life-long education.
