Abstract
The goal of studying the discipline is learning the methods of computation of probabilities of random events and probability distributions of random variables, solving statistical estimation problems, notions of the theory of statistical hypotheses testing, that allow the student to apply this knowledge in the disciplines such as “Methods of Optimal Solution”, “Mathematical Models in Economics”, “Game Theory”, “Econometrics”. The course “Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics” will be used in the theory and applications of multidimensional statistical analysis, mathematical economics, econometrics. The material of the course can be used for development and application of numerical methods of solving problems in various regions sciences and for creating and studying mathematical models of such problems.
