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

Compulsory exercises and physical or digital gatherings (agreed upon at the start of the semester with the students). Written final examination is the basis for the grade awarded in the course.

Parts of this course can be taught in English.

Compulsory assignments
