Section 1.1 Student Learning Objectives

This chapter introduces the basic concepts of statistics. Special attention is given to concepts that are used in the first part of this book, the part that deals with graphical and numeric statistical ways to describe data (descriptive statistics) as well as mathematical theory of probability that enables statisticians to draw conclusions from data.

🔗

The course applies the widely used freeware programming environment for statistical analysis, known as R. In this chapter we will discuss the installation of the program and present very basic features of that system.

🔗

By the end of this chapter, the student should be able to:

🔗

Recognize key terms in statistics and probability.
🔗

🔗
Install the R program on an accessible computer.
🔗

🔗
Learn and apply a few basic operations of the computational system R.
