Learning outcomes |
Students are expected to be able to obtain a sample to carry out a project, to describe the sample data and summarize the information. Students are also expected to solve problems using introductory topics of Theory of Probability, and inferential methods concerning confidence intervals and parametric hypothesis tests. The SPSS statistical program will be used.
