Knowledge Broadening
The students know the different methods to prepare and to present static data. They are able to understand and to interpret diagrams, tables, frequency distributions, statistical measures und indexes. The students know the differences between one-dimensional and two-dimensional features.
Knowledge Deepening
The students are able to carry out independently a statistical study in a company. They can prepare the results graphically and in table form and interpret it comprehensively. Finally they can analyse the basic material and can transform the results into understandable reports. They can verify hypotheses.
Instrumental Skills and Competences
The students:
- carry out data collections
- can differentiate characteristics by the scale
- know how the absolute and the relative frequencies are defined and can
draw up frequency tables
- can calculate statistical measures and indexes
- can carry out a simple regression analysis
- can calculate key figures
- can recognise a time serie and calculate the most important parameters
- can verify hypothesis with statistical methods of testing
- can estimate parameters
- can calculate simple key figures by means of statistic software
Communicative Skills and Competences
The students learn how to use data. They can evaluate data and they can interpret and communicate the results. They are able to verify hypotheses and to estimate parameters.
Systemic Skills and Competences
The students are able to justify their decisions by means of statistical methods and analysis.
