Course content
"Probability Theory for Computer Science" covers fundamental concepts of probability theory, mathematical statistics, sample space of elementary events, operations with events, probability of an event, conditional probability, probability properties, formulas of total probability, Bayes' formulas, random variables, Bernoulli's scheme, binomial distribution, probability density, uniform distribution, normal distribution, exponential distribution, mathematical expectation, variance, correlation, sample set, sample mean, sample variance, sample correlation coefficient, linear regression, parameter estimation methods, hypothesis testing methods, methods of constructing confidence intervals. These basic mathematical concepts are essential for preparing students to use probability theory methods in building mathematical models in computer science through statistical methods. The application of probability methods for problem-solving in information technology aims to develop skills for independent use and study of literature on probability theory.

Assessment methods and criteria
Semester Evaluation: - Control work on the topic "Calculation of means, variances, and correlation coefficients" – 10 points (threshold score 6 points), - Control work on the topic "Construction of confidence intervals for parameters of the normal distribution" – 10 points (threshold score 6 points), - Assessment for the completion and defense of practical work during practical sessions – 40 points (threshold score 24 points). Final assessment in the form of an exam: maximum score 40 points, threshold score 24 points. During the exam, the student takes a test and answers questions. Content modules (CM) contribute to the scores assigned based on the student's performance throughout the semester, accumulating points for systematic work during the semester. The final assessment is the sum of points for content modules and points for the exam.
