Objectives
THE TEACHING AIM IS TO PROVIDE A SUITABLE KNOWLEDGE OF STATISTICAL BACKGROUND AND TO MANIPULATE INFORMATION FROM EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS.
IT WILL BE GIVEN THE TOOLS TO SUMMARIZE THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA USING CHARTS, GRAPHICS AND STATISTICAL DISTRIBUTIONS, TO CHOOSE AND CALCULATE THE MEAN VALUES AND THE MOST CONSISTENT VARIABILITY FROM MEASURES OF SPECIFIC PROBLEMS. FOR THIS PURPOSE, THE THEORETICAL LESSONS WILL BE COMPLETED BY PRACTICAL CLASSES, DURING WHICH WILL BE USED PROGRAMS SUCH AS EXCEL AND THE STATISTICAL SOFTWARE R.
Prerequisites
