Statistics is a compulsory course aimed at introducing the basic techniques for the analysis of statistical data. Topics taught include displaying and describing data, basic probability theory and statistical inference. Attention will be focused on applications to business and economics.
At the end of the course, the student will have:
- become familiar with the main concepts and methods of descriptive statistical analysis, probability and inference;
- acquired a theoretical understanding of statistical techniques and an appropriate critical sense in choosing the most suitable indicators and techniques for the analysis of data sets with specific characteristics;
- developed the ability to analyse real data sets by choosing the most appropriate technique, applying it and interpreting the results.
