EXAM DESCRIPTION

Written exam plus oral discussion.

ASSESSMENT METHODS

The purpose of the written exam is to verify the ability of the student to face problems through the use of probability and statistics and the oral exam has the purpose to verify both the knowledge level and the ability to exploit the theoretical instruments of probability and statistics.
