At the same time, high variation of points earned by the participants (69 points), the coefficient of oscillation (174 . 5%) and the quadratic coefficient of variation (40 . 6%) showed high variation and unreliability of the average.</p> <p>The authors proved the effectiveness of the All-Ukrainian Olympiad on the discipline “Statistics”, especially in promoting statistical literacy among young people, developing logical and lateral thinking, enhancing professional and intellectual capacities</p&gt;}, number={2(69)}, journal={Statistics of Ukraine}, author={Shevchuk, V.
