Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
The aim is to lead the student in learning the basic statistical notion. The first theoretical part introducing the basic statistics is followed by an application part with practical exercises.
Contenuti
The course program is organized in three parts as described below.
Exploratory Data Analysis
The data matrix. Types of variables. Frequency tables. Graphical representations. Summary measures of position and dispersion. Association of two quantitative variables, covariance and correlation coefficient. Outline of simple linear regression.
Probability Theory
Random experiment, sample space and events, probability measure. Conditional probability, independence. Random variables. Expected value and variance of a random variable. Discrete and continuous random variables. Bernoulli and binomial distribution. Gaussian distribution.
Inferential Statistics
Random sampling. Parametric statistical models. Sampling distributions. Point estimation. Bias and mean squared error. Confidence intervals for the mean of a Gaussian population.

Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
For attending students, there are 3 tests during the Statistics course, otherwise, is possible to do only one full test in the ordinary examination session.
To pass the exam the student score has to be greater than or equal to 18 in the full examination and in partial tests (for attending students) the average score has to be not less then 18.
