    The goal Introducing students to basic methods of probability theory in discrete and continuous models: combinatory problems, conditional probability, random variables and their numerical characteristics, Laws of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorem, and basic ideas in mathematical statistics.
    The outcome Understanding applications of methods of Probability and Statistics in solving problems from real world. Enabling students to solve simple real world problems, applying the methods of Probability and Statistics, determining the correct mathematical model and performing related parameter estimation and testing hypotheses.
    Contents
    Contents of lectures Fundamental concepts and applications of combinatorics. Conditional probability and independence of events. Random variables and their distributions. Numerical characteristics of random variables. Laws of Large Numbers and Central Limit Theorem. Estimate of parameters and testing hypothesis. Least square method and Linear regression.
    Contents of exercises Through examples, tasks and problems student learns how to apply theorems and basic concepts that are learnt through theoretical contents. Especially students are prepared how to solve problems that are occurring in vocational electrotechnical subjects.
