Goals The aim is for students to learn the fundamental concepts of statistics, gain knowledge and skills about statistical methods used to analyze data, and acquire proficiency in planning, analyzing, and interpreting research.
Course Content Statistical concepts, fundamental concepts, data types and measurement levels, frequency tables and graphs, the concept of probability, some continuous and discrete probability distributions, sampling distributions, hypothesis tests, point and interval estimation, regression and correlation, one-way and two-way ANOVA, categorical data, chi-square tests and association coefficients, applications using a well-known statistical program.
Learning Outcomes 1) Recognises data and variable types, processes data before analysis
2) Summarises and interprets the data with tables and graphs
3) Decides on the statistical methods to be used according to the data structure
4) Use statistical methods in programming language and interpret the results
5) Gain experience working with real data from different disciplines
6) Establishes relationships between theoretical and practical knowledge
7) Gains the competence of recognising, modelling and interpreting the results of real life problems involving uncertainty
