Learning outcome

1. Knowledge. The student has a firm knowledge in probability and statistical distributions as a basis for statistical inference. Further the student knows and understands central statistical concepts such as estimation, confidence interval and hypothesis testing. 2. Skills. The student is able to recognise statistical standard situations and knows how these best can be analysed. Further the student is able to perform statistical inference for normal distributed data and is able to communicate with statisticians in more complicated situations.

Learning methods and activities
