Statistics

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The Statistics course aims to introduce the fundamental principles of data analysis and probability theory, providing a solid foundation for the application of statistical methods in different areas of study. This discipline is essential for understanding and interpreting data, aiding in making informed decisions based on quantitative evidence. Statistical knowledge is crucial in many areas where data analysis plays an increasingly relevant role, particularly, in the areas of social sciences, economics, engineering, health sciences and technology, as is the case of the Bachelor Degree in Management Informatics. The course encourages students' critical and analytical thinking with practical applications in order to contribute positively to their academic and professional future.
• ProgramaProgramme

  1. Descriptive statistics: Basic concepts: population, attribute, modalities and sample. Statistical data measurement scales. Absolute and relative frequencies. Accumulated frequencies. Measures of central tendency. Dispersion measures. Measures of skewness and kurtosis. 2. Probability theory: Basic concepts. Axioms of probabilities. Conditional probabilities. Independent events. Multiplicative and additive rules. 3. Random Variables: Discrete random variables: probability function, distribution function. Absolutely continuous random variables: probability density function, distribution function. Mathematical hope. Variance and standard deviation. Independent random variables. 4. Probability distributions: Discrete distributions. Continuous distributions.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Face-to-face: 1. Expository methodology: Presentation of concepts and tools. 2. Active methodologies: Presentation, discussion, and interpretation of statements. 3. Practice: Students solve exercises with collective and individualized discussion of the questions raised by the problem in its solution. Autonomous: 4. Study and resolution of additional exercises/problems proposed by the teacher. The teacher provides feedback on the results obtained by the student in solving the exercises.
