Learning objectives
The course aims at introducing the bases of descriptive statistics, probability theory and inferential statistics.
Expected learning outcomes
Students will acquire basic skills allowing them to summarize a data sample through numerical indices and graphical representations, to reason in terms of the main probability distributions, to perform simple statistical analyses, to understand statistical analyses performed by others, and to study more complex data analysis techniques.
