Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Three tests will be written during the semester - 3rd, 6th and 11th week. The exact term will be specified by the lecturer. The test duration is 60 minutes. The evaluation of each test is 0-10 points.
Projected evaluated 0-10 points.
Final written exam - 60 points
Exam prerequisites:
The credit will be awarded to the one who meets the attendance conditions and whose total test scores will reach at least 15 points and project score at least 5 points. The points earned in the exercise are transferred to the exam.

Aims
Introduction
of further concepts, methods and algorithms of probability theory, descriptive
and mathematical statistics. Development of probability and statistical topics
from previous courses. Formation of a stochastic way of thinking leading to
formulation of mathematical models with emphasis on information fields.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Participation
in lectures in this subject is not controlled
Participation
in the exercises is compulsory. During the semester two abstentions
are tolerated. Replacement of missed lessons is determined by the leading exercises.
