Entry knowledge
Mastering basic methods of descriptive statistics, probability theory and mathematical statistics is assumed.
Rules for evaluation and completion of the course
Course-unit credit requirements: Continuous active work at seminars.
Attendance at seminars is controlled and the teacher decides on the compensation for absences.
Aims
The course objective is to make students acquainted with programs Minitab and Excel, which serve as a tool for statistical and probability calculations. Students will learn how to use the software at the extent corresponding with the subject matter presented in the parallel course Mathematics IV so that they can carry out calculations needed for working out tasks assigned in this course.
Students will learn how to use statistical software Statgraphics and Statistica as well as how to use statistical analytic tools in common spreadsheets. They will understand better the subject matter of Matematics IV. They will also acquire implementation skills in a statistical data analysis.
