The learning objectives that will be evaluated for the purpose of passing the final exam are summarized in the following scheme:
Knowledge and understanding: Knowledge of the main tools for the synthesis and presentation of data, through the acquisition of the main techniques of descriptive statistics; knowledge of probabilistic techniques for the analysis of simple random phenomena; acquisition of basic statistical inference tools for estimation and hypothesis testing.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: Ability to use the appropriate techniques based on the type of data under analysis; be able to carry out basic descriptive analyzes for univariate and bivariate phenomena using the main summary indices; be able to carry out simple computations in situations of uncertainty; know how to apply the main statistical inference techniques; know how to read statistical analyses carried out with the methodologies presented in the course.
Making judgements: Be able to understand and comment on the results obtained from statistical analyses in practical examples based on the context of the application, thus being able to use the results in decision-making processes.
Communication skills: Acquire the basics of technical statistical language to communicate clearly and without ambiguity with both statisticians and non-statisticians.
Learning skills: Be able to correctly read the results of statistical analyses, also in contexts of greater complexity than those presented in the course.
