  • Probability density function and cummulative density function. Median, mode, percentiles and moments
  • Discrete random variables: Uniform, binomial and Poisson. Continuos random variables: Uniform, exponential, gamma and normal

 

Inferencial Statistics

 

  • Itroduction to sampling distributions. Parameters and estimators.
  • Chi-square distribution and t-Student
  • Sampling distribution of the mean, of the difference of means, proportion, difference of proportions
  • F Distribution
  • Sampling distribution of the variance and of the ratio of variances
  • Point Estimation and properties. Mean squared error
  • Confidence intervals introduction. Confidence intervals of means, difference of means, proportions, difference of proportions, variances and ratio of variances
  • Hypothesis testing. Introduction. Type I and type II errors. P-value and power of a test.  Hyphotesis testing for means, proportions and variances
