COURSE CONTRIBUTION TO PROGRAM

Statistics is an essential tool for decision-making in environments where the amount of data and/or level of uncertainty do not allow the information contained to be extracted directly. This course provides some of the theoretical and practical foundations needed for decision-making in the face of uncertainty.

Course Learning Objectives

Upon completing this course students should be able to:

- Use statistical reasoning for its practical applications.
- Understand the different branches of Statistics and their concepts and techniques to be able to use them in the appropriate situations.
- Relate the course to other courses being studied and their future professional career.
- Summarise the information provided by a set of data using descriptive, univariate and bivariate statistical techniques.
- Prepare descriptive statistical reports.
- Use probabilities calculation and probability models to make decisions.
- Apply the techniques learnt in an ethical manner.
