In this UC the following teaching methods are used:

1) Verbal methodologies (say), making use of pedagogical resources: Presentation, Explanation, Dialogue and Interrogation;

2) Intuitive Methodologies (show), making use of pedagogical resources: Demonstration, Audiovisual and written texts.

1) Introduce basic notions of Descriptive Statistics and Probability, in order to familiarize the student with the terminology and the main techniques;

2) Learn Inferential Statistics techniques and their assumptions in order to use them judiciously and critically, aware of their limitations, and correctly interpret the results;

3) Know important concepts of the Theory of Sampling with a view to its operationalization through statistical inference;

4) Know and know how to use statistical decision techniques: formulate hypotheses and evaluate them through hypothesis tests.
