Learning outcomes
This lecture provides the students with fundamental notions of the probability theory, especially with the concepts of a random variable and a multidimensional random variable. It presents some distributions of discrete random variables and continuous random variables. It completes this matter with the mathematical statistics based on the notion of a random sample, informs about elements of the estimation theory and the elements of the statistical hypothesis testing.
Knowledge. Define main notions, approaches, to be able to solve model problems.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the undergraduate mathematics and physics.
