Learning outcomes
Mastering basic concepts such as: mathematical expectation, variance and standard deviation of continuous and discrete random values, correlation coefficient of random variables, region of joint confidence probability, laws of large numbers, central limit theorem for determining the convergence of distribution laws to the normal law. Be able to approximate experimental data using the method of least squares in the case of equal and unequal measurements, use computer tools to approximate the data of a physical experiment, carry out statistical verification of the accuracy of various methods measurements, carry out analysis of residuals, check the adequacy of the selected model

Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Know the basic foundations of mathematical analysis and probability theory. 2. To be able to apply previous knowledge from the courses of mathematical analysis, probability theory to the array of data.
Course content
The course "Statistical methods of processing experimental results" examines modern approaches to the description of experimental results and their extension theoretical knowledge and development of students' practical skills regarding the analysis of measurement errors of physical quantities, finding confidence intervals, statistical testing of hypotheses, correlation analysis, choosing the best model. The purpose of studying the discipline is to master the basic knowledge of probability theory and mathematical statistics with the aim of applying them to process the results of a physical experiment and choose the best model. Educational the task of the course is to master the basic methods of analyzing errors in measuring physical quantities, finding confidence intervals, statistical testing of hypotheses, correlation analysis, and choosing the best model. Learning outcomes are the ability to find probabilities, mathematical expectation, variance, and root mean square deviation of continuous and discrete random variables, as well as to approximate experimental data using the least squares method in the case of equal and unequal measurements.
