Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

The course provides students with such statistical techniques as graphical tools and summary measures for single and multiple variables, estimation, and hypothesis testing for Gaussian and Binomial populations. At the end of the course students have (a) acquired knowledge of the main statistical techniques for exploratory data analysis and the fundamental concepts of probability and inference from random samples and (b) developed skills to solve elementary probability problems will be developed.
