Learning outcomes
It is expected that the student is able to:
- compute statistical goals for sample data and produce results in tables and graphics
- use notation for statistics regarding quantity, independence and conditional probability
- calculate probabilities with combination games for lotteries etc.
- explain common probability models and calculate probabilities
- interpret results of surveys with confidence intervals and p-values from hypothesis tests
- calculate confidence intervals and perform hypothesis tests on the basis of collected data and common probability models
- apply linear regression and evaluate the results of the analysis
- use computer programs for statistical calculations and analyzes
