The course introduces fundamental principles and methods in statistics, with applications in business administration and economics. The content includes graphical and numerical descriptive methods, basic probability theory, discrete and continuous probability distributions, sampling distributions, point estimates, confidence intervals, and parametric hypothesis testing. The course also covers methods for data collection. Additionally, it includes analysis of relationships between variables, such as correlation and simple linear regression, as well as the presentation of results. Statistical analyses are performed using relevant software, and the results are interpreted and presented in writing.
Surf on the Internet, read and send emails, use a word-processing programme (e.g. Word). Connect a camera and headphones to the computer and install a programme using instructions.
Access to a computer (Not a mini pc, tablet or similar) that is not older than three years (or equivalent) and broadband connection, at least 1 Mbit/s (not mobile broadband, because mobile broadband can vary considerably in speed).
Higher rate of web-based communication where our learning platform (Learn/Canvas) is a natural element of the course. Web-based meetings with sound and image where simple presentations can be held. Lectures can be broadcast live or can alternatively be made available afterwards online.
Literature lists are published at the latest one month ahead of the course start date.
