Learning outcomes | |
The course is to understand the basic concepts of Probabilities, the most important distributions of random variables and their parameters and the use of basic descriptive statistics tools.
Correlation of the course with the Department’s subject The Department of Economics aims to study and promote economic science. It offers all those theoretical and quantitative tools that allow the understanding of the economic environment based on two axes: The first concerns the operation of the financial system and therefore monitors the development of economic theories and models. The second is the scientifically correct positions and proposals for achieving certain objectives regarding the equitable and efficient organization of the economic system. This is directly related to the knowledge of probability and descriptive statistics methodologies, thus supporting inference about a population’s properties and presenting relevant data samples. This course will develop students’ skills to solve problems, to use and process quantitative data and their analytical and inductive thinking ability. |

General Competences | |
· Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
· Adapting to new situations · Decision-making · Production of free, creative and inductive thinking |
