Abstract:
To deal with order statistics is very fruitful from several aspects. Besides getting the pupils acquainted with different statistical notions (median, range, etc.) we have an opportunity to show how to distinguish between independence and dependence and the different levels of dependence (correlation). The variety of combinatorial methods used in connection with order statistics is also an argument in favour of teaching this topic. The program to be presented is for pupils of 13-15 years who learned some stochastics (relative frequency, probability, mean etc.) within the new mathematical curriculum.
