Syllabus

• Introduction to statistics, testing of hypotheses.
• Tables of distribution functions. Sampling from biological populations, data processing.
• Introduction to sampling design. Continuous, ordinal and nominal data in biology.
• Distribution of continuous and bivariate variables - testing of hypotheses, graphical methods.
