Annotation -
In Statistics I, students are introduced to the basics of probability theory and statistics and practice theoretical concepts on a variety of practical problems. Students will also learn the basics of processing, presentation and interpretation of data. The course is a preparation for further exploration of statistical methods for elementary economic analysis. and social phenomena. Students will learn to distinguish situations and appropriate methods for given circumstances and types of data. Will instruction in the proper presentation and interpretation of data and results will also be provided. Selected topics will be presented in the MS Excel and Gretl computing environments.
