Objectives

It is expected that, by the end of this course, the students fully understand the basic statistical concepts, particularly those concerned with the deductive path “population-sample”. It is also expected that, by the end of Statistics I and II, the students fully understand the concepts of statistical inference and are able to use statistical methods and techniques with a high degree of autonomy.

Program

General Introduction: Populations and samples. Steps of the statistic analysis methodology. Descriptive Statistics. Probability. Conditional probability. Independence. Bayes theorem. Probability distribution. Discrete and continuous random variables. Distributions parameters. Transformation of random variables. Joint distributions of two variables. Marginal distributions. Independence. Covariance and correlation. Functions of two random variables. Distributions of discrete random variables: the Binomial, the Negative Binomial the Hypergeometric and the Poisson distributions. Distributions of continuous random variables: the Uniform, the Negative Exponential, the Normal, the Student t, the Chi-squared, and the F distributions. Random sampling and sampling distributions: Distribution of the sample mean. Central limit theorem. Generation of random variables

Calculation formula of final grade

The final classification is the weighted average of the results obtained on the four tests. The weighs are 0.10, 0.20, 0.30 e 0.40, respectively.

Examinations or Special Assignments

None.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

The four tests are mandatory
