Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with basic statistical terms and methods. Students will be presented with information on data set evaluation and basic statistical tests. They will be introduced to the general applicability of statistical methods and their applications. As part of the exercises, students will learn practical procedures and algorithms. An integral part is understanding the structure of statistics as a whole as well as the necessary sub-areas.
Competence acquired: After completing the course, the student is able to use the basic methods of descriptive and mathematical statistics.
