Objectives
Once successfully having studied this subject, the students should be able to: - Analize problems involving random phenomena - Define populations for a statistical study - Build Hypothesis about a distribution - Estimate and test hypothesis about the paramters of the chosen model - Evaluate how well does the model fit to reality - Understand the limitations of the methods that have been studied and the conditions under which they lead to wrong conclusions
