This course aims to endow students with underlying knowledge of Statistics and Probability, which is indispensable to take decisions in uncertainty situations that happen in various areas of Engineering.
This course also aims to endow students with accurate communication skills when themes in the domain of Statistics and Probability are referred. Students will also develop a critical attitude in the analysis of engineering problems and they will be able to apply their knowledge in the resolution of practical problems. The adequate learning of the fundamental concepts of this course will make students able to easily learn advanced knowledge in their future career, both academic and professional.
Aquisition of a body of basic knowledge and the transmission of the very process of knowledge construction. The aim is to provide a solid preparation in mathematics skills in probabilities and statistics and prepare competences in mathematical modeling techniques fundamental for the processes of acquisition, processing and use of information.
1) Probabilities. Conditional probability and independence; Bayes’ theorem.
2) Random Variables; functions of random variables; most important distributions.
3) Sampling: Samples and sampling distributions.
4) Point estimate: Estimators and estimates; desirable properties of point estimates; estimation methods (method of least squares).
5) Interval estimate: Concept of confidence interval; specification of confidence intervals; sampling dimensioning.
6) Hypothesis testing: Introduction; hypothesis testing procedures; relationship between confidence intervals and hypothesis testing; dispersion and localization testing.
Theoretical-classes: presentation of the themes of the course illustrated by examples, which explain the concepts and results presented;
Theoretical-practical classes: exercises proposed and solved by the professor. Students will be encouraged to actively participate in class by suggesting solutions to the exercises and by criticizing results.

CF = 0,4* AD + 0,6 * EF
where:
- CF is the final mark (0 - 20)
- EF is the mark in the final exam (0 - 20).
- AD is the mark in the distributed evaluation (0 - 20)
In order to pass in this curricular unit, the student needs a minimum mark of 6 in 20 in the final exam.
The continuous evaluation include the resolution of two short exams.
