Course content
1. Introduction into combinatory - historical respect. Basic concepts of combinatory. 2. Logical tree of al possibilities, combinatory rule of sum and product, variation and permutation with or without frequency 3. Combination with or without frequency, binomial coefficients and their properties. Simple equations. 4. Pascal triangle. Binomial theorem and application. 5. The use of graph theory in problem solving in combinatory. 6. Introduction into calculus of probabilities: stochastic space as a model of random attempt. Notation, absolute and relative rate and their properties. 7. Event and its probability: certain, impossible, possible event, random event and operation with them, classical formula of probability 8. Basic theorems - probability of intersection (in)depending events, probability of union of events. Applications. 9. Probability in practice life - solution of model situation. 10. Introduction into statistics: basic concepts, statistic classification, statistical set, rate and frequency distribution, graph and mapping, frequency diagram. 12. Characteristics of statistical set: arithmetic average, weight and running average, harmonic mean. Median, modus. 12. Adding (equitable) characteristics of statistical set - data dispersion, mean-root-square error, statistic dependence of statistical symbol, coefficient of correlation. Application. 13. Students' presentation. 14. Students' presentation, reserve.
