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 -

Minimum active participation in the exercise of 75%,

If the student does not reach the minimum requirement, an individual seminar paper will be assigned, which will be accepted and graded based on pre-determined rules.

Active participation in the exercises also includes work in e-learning - course Statistics II, i.e. work with materials + passing The credit test will include mainly examples, partly theory. The minimum threshold for passing the credit test is 50%. In case of failure, it is possible to repeat the credit test.

The exam is divided into two parts: written and oral. It will verify the understood material from lectures and study materials and practical verification of theoretical knowledge in calculations and in practice.
