Probability
The purpose of studying the discipline is the formation of students' scientific understanding of the probabilistic laws of mass homogeneous random phenomena, as well as methods of collecting, systematizing and processing observation results in order to identify statistical patterns.
Discipline objectives:
- theoretical mastering by students of the basic concepts and methods of probability;
- the acquisition of practical skills for calculating the probability of random events, researching the laws of distribution of random variables and their numerical characteristics;
- teaching students methods of processing statistical information to assess the values of parameters and test the significance of hypotheses.
The goal of mastering the discipline
The purpose of mastering the discipline: the formation of students' scientific understanding of random events and quantities, the methods of their research, as well as probabilistic and statistical thinking, which is necessary for successful research and analytical work in modern areas of socio-economic and management activities.
