COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Statistics 1 is a course aimed at providing students with knowledge of descriptive statistics.
from the theory of probabilities and its applications, in order to provide elements to establish models
mathematicians who explain random phenomena since a large number of observable phenomena do not
they are deterministic.
Statistics is a discipline that supports the decision-making process in various areas of
knowledge using statistical inference tools for a deep
understanding of probabilistic concepts, for which this course is focused on establishing the
basic concepts of Descriptive Statistics and Probability as pillars of Statistical Inference
The course utilizes the knowledge of differential and integral calculus that the student possesses at this level.
the race.
GENERAL OBJECTIVES:
Upon completing the course, the student will be in a position to:
Identify suitable ways to present information.
Acquire the skills to build statistical tables and graphs.
Acquire skills in the use of statistical software for the calculation of descriptive indicators.
Adequately identify the different indicators of descriptive statistics, interpret them,
calculate them and recognize in which cases they are used.
Identify statistics not as a branch of mathematics, but as an area of knowledge that deals with
of the development of a practical theory of information.
Apply basic knowledge of probability theory to establish mathematical models that
explain random phenomena.
Master the basic knowledge of probability theory that allows you to use it. suspicious
models,
methods and procedures for decision-making in a scientific manner.
