In the Statistics I course, the students will learn basics of probability theory and statistics and will practice the theoretical concepts on various practical problems. The students will also learn about basics of data processing, presentation and interpretation. The course is a preparation for further exploration of statistical methods for elementary analysis of economic and social phenomena. The students will learn how to distinguish the situations and appropriate methods for given circumstances and types of data. A guidance to proper presentation and interpretation of the data and their results will be provided as well. Selected topics will be presented in the computing environments of MS Excel and Gretl.

1. Introduction to Statistics. Types of data, data representation and visualization.

2. The essentials of probability theory. Random Experiments, Sample space, Events, Probabilities.

3. Axioms of probability. Elementary probability theorems, conditional probability, multiplication rule. Subjective probability.

4. Random variable and probability theory. Random variable, frequency, probability distribution and its representation and main characteristics. Probability function, density function, cumulative distribution function and their properties.

5. Selected probability distributions I. Discrete random variable.

6. Selected probability distributions II. Continuous random variable.

7. Multidimensional random variable. Random vectors and multivariate probabilistic distributions.
