Probabilities and Statistics

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  This Curricular Unit aims to provide a solid understanding of the fundamental concepts of Probability Theory and Statistics, with a focus on the applications of the CTeSP course in Computer Applications for Data Science. Students are introduced to the necessary mathematical formulation and to statistical and probabilistic tools that enable them to solve problems related to data analysis, information synthesis, statistical inference and hypothesis testing. In addition, the course highlights the importance of studying and modeling theoretical and sampling distributions, promoting the deepening of knowledge through the practical application of real cases. This approach reinforces the relevance of the curricular unit in the context of the higher vocational-technical course in which it is integrated, preparing students to face challenges related to the analysis and interpretation of data in the real world.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  This course has two assessment methods: Continuous Assessment and Non-Continuous Assessment. 1. Continuous Assessment: The Continuous Assessment of this Curricular Unit is made up of two frequencies (F1 and F2), attendance (A) and a paper (P). The final mark is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the frequencies (NF = 0.4 * F1 + 0.4 * F2 + 0.1 * A + 0.1 * P).   2. Non-continuous assessment: Students can opt for a final exam.   As an innovative methodology to support the teaching-learning process, this curricular unit incorporates the transposition of all theoretical material into the JAMOVI programme. JAMOVI is a freely accessible tool capable of mathematically and graphically supporting databases that can be described and interrogated as the syllabus of the lectures progresses.
