VERSION SPECIFIC DATA
course aims in Estonian
Süvendada teadmisi juhuslikkusest ja kujundada stohhastilist mõtlemisviisi. Anda teadmisi juhuslike nähtuste seaduspärasuste kohta ning oskusi nende seaduspärasuste kindlakstegemiseks. Anda teadmisi andmete töötlemiseks matemaatilise statistika meetoditega.
course aims in English
To deepen the knowledge about randomness and create the stochastical kind of thinking. To give the knowledge about the laws of random phenomena and ability to identify them. To give skills for data processing by means of methods of mathematical statistics.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.

- tunneb juhusliku suuruse, selle jaotusfunktsiooni, keskväärtuse ja dispersiooni mõisteid nii üldisel kui ka klassikalistel erijuhtudel;
- tunneb juhusliku vektori, kovariatsiooni ja korrelatsioonikordaja mõisteid;
- tunneb matemaatilise statistika põhimõisteid, oskab leida punkt- ja vahemikhinnanguid;
- oskab kontrollida statistilisi hüpoteese ja kasutada vähimruutude meetodit.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
Student:
- knows the main concepts of the probability theory, operations with events and is able to compute corresponding probabilities;
- knows the concepts of the random variable, distribution, expected value and dispersion in general case and classical special cases;

type of assessment in Estonian
Ülesannete peale toimub üks kontrolltöö. Lisaks tuleb esitada kodune kontrolltöö, mis sisaldab praktilise ülesande lahendamist. Lõplik teadmiste kontroll toimub eksamil. Üliõpilane peab eksamile pääsemiseks olema esitanud koduse praktilise töö ja sooritanud kontrolltöö (igaühe vähemalt 50 punktile). Eksamil kontrollitakse üliõpilase teoreetilisi teadmisi: mõistete definitsioone ja vaadeldavate matemaatiliste objektide omadusi, samuti tõestusi nõutud mahus. Aine koondhinne kujuneb ülesannete tööde ja eksami tulemuse kaalutud keskmisena. Kokkuleppel õppejõuga võib teooriat vastata osade kaupa semestri jooksul (kollokviumite või teooria tööde vormis).
type of assessment in English
A test about the exercises will to be performed. In addition, a homework is to be presented. It contains a solution of a practical problem. Final verification of the knowledge will be performed in the form of an exam. In order to qualify for the exam, the student must present the homework and perform a test (both minimally for 50 credits). At the exam the theoretical knowledge of the student is examined: definitions of concepts, properties of mathematical objects and proofs in a required amount. The final grade of the course will be computed as a weighted mean of the tests and the exam. In agreement with the instructor, the theory may be answered in parts during the semester (in the form of colloquiums or tests of theory).
independent study in Estonian
Iseseisev töö seisneb teoreetiliste materjalide läbitöötamises ja kodutööde täitmises. Töö maht statsionaarses õppes – 30 tundi, kaugõppes – 60 tundi.
independent study in English
The self-dependent work of students consists in the learning of the theoretical material of the subject and in the solving home-problems. Learning capacities of the subject in the stationary learning is 30 hours and in the distance learning 60 hours.
