Learning outcomes:
At the end of the curricular unit, the student should be able to:
1 - Understand and apply statistical methods in the analysis of the different types of data.
2 - Use the program SPSS in the statistical analysis of data.
3 - Produce and organize the results of a statistical analysis of data.
4 - Analyze and criticize studies and/ or articles in the textile engineering area that satisfy the learning outcomes.
5- Identify the probabilistic models, their properties, and their applications to textile engineering.
Syllabus:
Chapter 1: Descriptive Statistics
-Population/sample;
-Variable Classification and measure scales.
-Creation of databases in SPSS;
- Frequency tables of unidimensional/ bidimensional variables;
-Graphic representations;
- Measures of central tendency, dispersion, skewness, and kurtosis;
Chapter 2: Correlation and Simple Linear Regression
- Pearson correlation coefficient;
- Scatter Plot;
- Least squares regression line;
Determination coefficient.
Chapter 3: Probability Theory;
- Random experiments, sample spaces, events;
- Axiomatic definition of probability and respective properties;
- Conditional probability;
- Real random variables (discrete/continuous);
- Distribution function, probability function and probability density function);
- Expected value and variance of a random variable;
- Binomial distribution;
- Poisson distribution;
- Normal distribution.
Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria:
In the theoretical classes, the program content will be presented. The practical classes will be taught in computer labs to learn SPSS using various databases.
As for assessment, it is proposed 2 tests (T1 and T2), worth 8 and 12 points respectively.. All assessment activities will be carried out in SPSS.

The final teaching and learning grade (TLG) is calculated as follows: TLG = 0.4 T1 + 0.6 T2
Exemption from the final exam is granted when the final TLG is equal to or higher than 9.5 points.
The FREQUENCY grade is granted to students when the TLG is at least 5.5 but lower than 9.5 points.
Restrictions on admission to the final exam:
a) CEA < 5.5;
b) Attendance rate < 75%.
