An Introductory course in Probability and Statistics: acquisition of basic concepts of Probability and Statistics and their application to concrete situation
Particular attention is paid to the presentation and understanding of the concepts, keeping the mathematical treatment on an elementary level.
On completing this curricular unit it is expected that the student:
1. Basic concepts in Statistics: Populations and samples; the role of randomization; observational and experiment studies; statistical variables.
2. Descriptive Statistics: fundamental concepts and tecniques for summarizing data.
3. Probability Theory: fundamental concepts, probability interpretations, independence of events and conditional probability, Bayes’ and total probability theorems.
4. Random Variables: characterization, discrete and continuous models; Discrete distributions: binomial and poisson distributions; the uniform, normal distributions, student's t distribution and chi-squared distribution. Central limit theorem.
5. Sample distributions.
6. Statistical Inference: point estimation, interval estimation,hypothesis testing.
Theoretical lectures with exposition of the course contents.
Practical classes for solving exercises related to each theorietical topic. Support in clarifying theoretical and/or practical problems.

No restrictions.
The approval of the discipline can be obtained
1) by performing two tests. In this case, it is mandatory to obtain a minimum score of 7 points in each of them and the average (see calculation *) of the marks obtained in the two frequencies must be greater than or equal to 10.
* In this case, the student's final grade is: 0.4x T1 + 0.6xT2 where, T1 = first test score and T2 = second test score.
Only students who have obtained a score of 7 or higher in the 1st test can take the 2nd test.
2) by final exam (normal time or resource).
Students who have passed the course for the tests and have not obtained the desired result can take the normal period exam. In this case, students will have to choose, at the time of delivery of the exam, to do away with the classification already obtained in the evaluation by tests (indicating in the exam the desired option).
Students with a final mark of 17.5 values or higher (obtained in the tests or in any of the exam periods) may have to perform a complementary written or oral exam in order to obtain a score greater than or equal to 18 values.
Exams under speacial conditions will consist of a written test or oral test which can be preceded by an oral eliminatory exam.
