Annotation -
The Statistics 2 course introduces other basic statistical procedures in working with data, especially in their analysis, and aims at their application to real problems of economic practice. It is based on a theoretical and methodological background with the aim of qualified interpretation of the results obtained and verification of established statistical hypotheses or questions. The tools of statistical analysis will be theoretically laid out with the practical application being carried out using selected statistical software, e.g. MS Excel, Gretl, Statistika.

Course completion requirements -

Credit

To obtain the credit, the following three conditions must be met:

1. Attendance at seminars/tutorials: A maximum of 3 absences is allowed. In case of illness or other serious reasons, an apology must be submitted in advance. Independence and a creative approach are expected and appreciated when working on the semester project.

2. Semester project: Submission by the specified deadline and its subsequent presentation during the designated seminar (for details, see the course syllabus).

3. Credit test: Successfully passing the written credit test in the final week of the lecture period. The test covers the material covered during the semester, and the minimum passing score is 60%.

Remedial Options:

In case of failure to meet the requirements (failure to meet attendance requirements, failure to submit/present the project, or scoring below 60% on the credit test), the student has the opportunity to take a remedial credit test. This test covers practical examples from the material of the entire semester. To obtain the credit, it is still required to score a minimum of 60%.

Examination

The examination verifies the understanding of the material and the ability to choose the appropriate statistical tool or model to solve a specific problem.

Format and Registration: The exam is held in person and is in written form. Registration is done electronically via the Student Information System (SIS) and is conditional upon prior completion of the credit requirements.

Exam Format: The exam consists of two written parts:

1. Theoretical part: Verifies knowledge from lectures and study materials.

2. Practical part: Verifies the application of theoretical knowledge in specific calculations.

Grading and Attempts: To successfully pass the exam, the student must achieve a minimum of 50% in each part separately. The final grade is determined according to the UCT Prague (VŠCHT) grading scale.

If a student fails to reach the 50% threshold in either of the parts, the entire exam is graded as unsatisfactory, and both parts must be repeated in the remedial term. The student has a total of 3 attempts to pass the exam (1 regular and 2 remedial attempts).

All written tests and exams are conducted in accordance with the common examination rules of the School of Business.
