Random Variables, methods of Mathematical Statistics, Statistical Process Control,
Process Capability Indexes, Acceptance Sampling, Inventory Management.

Language of instruction

Czech

Number of ECTS credits

5

Mode of study

Not applicable.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

In the course students learn to work with the random variables, to work with statistical data sets, to use methods of statistical process control, process capability indices, to evaluate the characteristics of acceptance sampling and inventory management. After completion of this course students will be prepared to use these methods in economic courses.

Prerequisites

Foundations of probability theory and mathematical statistics.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course contains lectures that explain basic principles, problems and methodology of the discipline, and exercises that promote the practical knowledge of the subject presented in the lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

GRADED COURSE-UNIT CREDIT:
The graded course-unit credit will be awarded based on submitting answers to calculation tasks.
The mark, which corresponds to the total sum of points achieved (max 100 points), consists of:
- points achieved in control test,
- points achieved by computer-aided calculation of projects
The grades and corresponding points:
A (100-90), B (89-80), C (79-70), D (69-61), E (59-50), F (49-0).
