Objetivos
- Describe and apply techniques for summarizing a data set
- Solve problems involving models and probability distributions with discrete variables and with continuous variables
- Characterize and apply estimators
- Construct and interpret confidence intervals
- Identify and apply the appropriate parametric hypotheses test
- Identify and apply the appropriate nonparametric hypotheses test
- Build and analyze a simple linear regression model
Resultados de aprendizagem e competências
The curricular unit contents are structured, regarding its suitability for the intended learning outcomes.
Therefore, each subject approaches fundamental theoretical concepts and practical applications by solving problems that enable students to analyze certain phenomena of random nature, framed in the context of health science, particularly in the recognition and application of probabilistic models, the deduction and application confidence intervals and parametric and nonparametric hypothesis testing.

Continuous assessment with 2 tests and 1 practical work or Evaluation by final examination.
Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final
Continuous assessment
Assigning by T1 the classification of the first test (from zero to 20), T2 the classification of the second test (from zero to 20) and by Trab the classification of the practical work (from zero to 20), the final classification (CF) is:
CF = 0.50×T1+0.35×T2+0.15×Trab
- If CF is greater than or equal to 10 and less than 18, the student is approved with a final grade equal to CF, provided that the classification in any of the tests was greater or equal to 7.0 values.
- If the CF is equal or greater than 18, the student must do an oral exam. The final grade is the average between the tests and the grade of the oral exam. If the student does not attend the oral exam, the final classification will be 17.
- If CF is less than 10, students will be able to recover the lowest test by performing a recovery test (in the same day of the first exam), provided that one of the tests is greater or equal to 7.0 values.
Evaluation by Exam
- If the grade of the exam is greater or equal to 10 and less than 18, the student is approved with a final mark equal to the grade of the exam.
- If the grade of the exam is equal or greater than 18, the student must do an oral exam. The final grade is the average between the two grades. If the student does not attend the oral exam, the final classification will be 17 points.
