Probability and Statistics E
Objectives
It is objective of this subject to teach the basics about probability theory, namely about probability, conditional probability, independence, random variables - their distribution, moments and some other characteristics - and the central limit theorem.
Learn the fundamentals about statistics, as the notion of population, sample and random sample, estimators, their sample distributions and some other properties, point estimation, estimation by confidence interval, hypotheses testing, simple linear regression and rudiments in stochastic simulation.

Teaching method
Lectures and problem-solving sessions, with wide participation of students.
Evaluation method
Frequency note:
In all classes will be marked the presence of the students. Frequency will be attributed to students who do not lack, unjustifiably, more than 8 (eight) classes corresponding to the shift in which they are enrolled. This rule is valid for all students, with the exception of:
- students with the status of student worker, or any other recognized by the faculty evaluation rules;
- students who attended the previous school year classes.
Continuous evaluation
Continuous evaluation consists of three tests. The three tests will have a T1, T2 and T3 rating classified on a scale of 0 to 20 values. The final classification of the continuous evaluation is calculated through
Final classification = 0.4 T1 + 0.4 T2 + 0.2 T3
and rounded to the units.
The student obtains approval in the curricular unit in a normal season (continuous evaluation) if his final grade is greater than or equal to 9.5 values. The student who obtains a final grade greater than or equal to 18.5 values, must perform an oral proof of defense of note. If the student does not attend the oral test, the final grade will be 18 values.
Appeal season
The evaluation of the time of appeal consists in the performance of an examination, scheduled for this purpose. This exam consists of a written test, lasting between 2.5 and 3 hours, and which will evaluate all the contents taught in the curricular unit.
The examination of the appeal season is classified on a scale of 0 to 20 values. The final score is equal to the classification of the exam, rounded to the units.
The student obtains approval in the curricular unit if the final grade is greater than or equal to 10 values. The student who obtains a final grade greater than or equal to 18.5 values, must perform an oral proof of defense of note. If the student does not attend the oral test, the final grade will be 18 values.
Note improvement
Students approved in the curriculum unit who want to improve grade should, in advance, require this improvement from academic services.
In this case, they shall carry out the appeal examination on the only date provided for this at the time of appeal. Its final classification to the curricular unit will be replaced by the Exam note (rounded to the units), if it is superior to it.
Other information
Students should confirm that the email registered in CLIP is correct. Otherwise they may not receive important warnings.
For any test or exam, students must bring a blank exam notebook, writing material, calculating machine and document ID with photo.
In any situation not mentioned here, the Knowledge Assessment Regulation of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the New University of Lisbon shall apply, revised on 16 January 2018.
