The article describes the types of information technology systems used in the study of mathematical statistics. Potentialities and conditions of use of information technology in teaching mathematics, including mathematical statistics.

Mathematical statistics course is a part of curricular of students, who are enrolled in “physical training” direc-tion and it is aimed at development of general cultural and general professional competences. To coordinate students’ individual work, the educational process use traditional textbooks, manuals of problem solving, electronic textbook and distant tutorials. Number of students, who use electronic textbooks and distant tutorials increased dramatically from 2005 to 2010, and at the same time, results on “Mathematics” subject were improved. The results of the research show the expediency of using traditional textbooks as well as electronic ones in the educational process.

The paper discusses the main aspects of teaching theory of probability and mathematical statistics for students majoring in jurisprudence. The authors formulate the aims and objectives of the introduction of the stochastic component of the mathematics course, determine how to achieve these goals through the implementation of an applied orientation of teaching mathematics and the inclusion of students in active cognitive activity during the performance of laboratory and practical work, solving problems and applied exercises.

The paper considers the question of influence of applied orientation of stochastics training on the formation and development of probabilistic thinking and probabilistic and statistical representations of pupils. The authors present analysis of the survey results at senior level of formation of representations about the application potential of mathematics in terms of the use of mathematical ideas and methods in the field of future professional interests of graduates of high school non-mathematical sections.

The paper considers the issue of students studying elements of probability theory and mathematical statistics in the framework of the modernization of the content of mathematical education.
