Course will cover descriptive statistics, population and sample, parameters estimation, testing statistical hypotheses for one and two populations, chi-square test of independence, analysis of variance, correlation and regression.

The main objective of the course is to give a sound and self-contained description of classical or mainstream statistical applications.

Students will learn how to carry out simple and advanced analysis of data. They will understand the differences between population and sample. Students should understand probability and random events. The students should have a clear understanding of random variable and its distribution.

The students should learn to formulate and solve basic problems of statistics, such as parameters estimation, statistical hypotheses testing, correlation analysis, analysis of variance, Spearman correlation, contingency tables and regression analysis. One of the course objectives is to prepare students for further studying simple and multiple regression models.
