Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: - understand and explain the basics of statistical inference; - use the basic testing procedures; - to operate the statistical software;
Learning outcomes

- determine statistical methods appropriate for particular application context
- solve tasks based on real data by means of sw. STATSTICA
- interpret properly outputs of analyses

Assessment methods
The final grade in this course will be the sum of points earned from the final test, online tests (ROPOTs), and points for activity in seminars and lectures. To be eligible for the final test, you must be active and attend all compulsory seminar sessions. Seminars are mandatory, and failure to attend or actively participate will prevent you from taking the final test. Make sure to engage in all course components to maximize your points and achieve a passing grade.
