The course presents the student with some of the basic concepts of descriptive statistics. It deals with the problems of synthesis (graphic and analytical) of statistical information concerning a single character detected in a population, focusing on the properties of the arithmetic mean and the concept of variability. Then we introduce the problem of the study of the relationship between two characters, distinguishing the approaches according to the level of qualitative or quantitative measurement.
