Learning outcomes
The course aims to provide the basic concepts of descriptive Statistics and Probability, by modeling concrete problems through the use of probabilistic methods and, at the same time, to underline the natural application of these concepts to mathematical Statistics. The course also aims to provide actual tools to apply the main statistical techniques to real cases.
By the end of the course, students will have to show their knowledge and understanding of the main statistical techniques for the description and analysis of the phenomena under study; to express the ability to apply the acquired knowledge and understanding skills for the interpretation of the results of the applied statistical analyzes in a critical and proactive way, by using the available tools; to know how to develop the necessary skills to continue the studies independently in the field of statistical Analysis.
Program
Descriptive statistics. Means, median, quantiles.
Variance and other statistics to measure the variability of a distribution.
Simmetry: Skewness of Pearson.
Independence test in crossed tables.
Linear Regression.
Introduction to probability theory: historical roots, three kinds of definition. Revision of set theory. Axiomatic definition of probability: outcomes, random experiments, sample space. Conditional probability: total probability theorem, law of compound probabilities.
Combinatorics elements: dispositions, permutations, combinations.
Random variables, discrete density function and cumulative distribution function. Mean, variance and n-th moment of random variables. Models of discrete distributions: Bernoulli distribution, uniform distribution, binomial distribution, geometric distribution, hyper-geometric distribution, Poisson distribution. Examples of continuous distributions: exponential distribution, Gaussian distribution. Characteristic function and (moment) generating function.
Inferential statistics: parameters estimation and statistical hypothesis testing.

Examination Methods
Written exam and test by using the R programming language.
The exam is divided into two parts: a Theory module (22 points) and a Laboratory module (8 points), to be held together.
The test will consist of:
- 3 exercises to be performed with paper, pen and calculator, related to the Theory module;
- 2 exercises about the R programming language, to be performed with paper and pen, related to the Laboratory module.
It is forbidden to use textbooks, manuals or notes during the exam.
Students may use a scientific calculator.
