Description

Ability to recognize, become familiar with and use statistical techniques when making decisions. All this approach will make compatible the ability to manually calculate the various tools for a small set of data with the ability to use and analyze and interpret the outputs of statistical software. Some questions that will be solved throughout the course with which we will know: How do we know which company pays a higher salary to its employees? Are men's or women's salaries more dispersed? What is the relationship between the reservations of a boat and the occupation that ultimately exists? Can we know the profitability of a year of education? How much does the price of a home in the port area of ​​Barcelona increase by increasing its area by one square meter? Is the above data statistically significant? How can we know if the price of one logistics company is statistically different from that of another?

 

 

The Tecnocampus will make available to teachers and students the digital tools needed to carry out the course, as well as guides and recommendations that facilitate adaptation to the non-contact mode.
