At first, students know that there is uncertainty when describing natural, technical or socio-economical phenomena, and further, they know methods for modeling these uncertainties (applied probability). The discussed models and methods for describing existing or observed data, for estimating parameters and for testing hypothesis on models and parameters should enable students to handle and analyse data, practical questions and problems in a meaningful statistical way on their own (also using appropriate statistical software) and to judge statistical results in a correct way.
