Data description (contingency table, mean, standard deviation, box-plot, time series and its characteristics), data analysis (Gaussian model, population parameters, statistical hypothesis, the level of significance, t-tests, chi-square test, regression model). Seminars Topics: The First Consultation: Working with e-library catalog UJEP, research in the depositary of STAG, MS-Office Excel (a mode, a median, frequency).
