Knowledge
In order to successfully master the subject of statistics, it is important that the student has certain professional knowledge and skills before starting the course. Such knowledge and skills should include: Basic Mathematics: The student should have a solid foundation in basic mathematics, including knowledge of algebraic operations, arithmetic, matrices, and basic mathematical functions. Knowledge of Mathematical Symbolism: The ability to read and write mathematical expressions and symbols is important because statistics uses mathematical notation. Probability and Statistics: Knowledge of basic probability concepts such as probability distribution, mean, variance, covariance and correlation is key. Understanding Data: A basic understanding of what data is, how it is obtained, and how it is organized is helpful. Analytical Thinking: The student should have the ability to think logically and analytically, which is important for unraveling statistical problems and situations. Fundamentals of Statistical Methods: An awareness of the existence and function of basic statistical methods such as mean, median, quartiles, standard deviation is useful. Basics Working with Software: If the student has previous experience working with computers and software, especially with spreadsheets, it can be an advantage. English Language: The ability to read and understand English texts is important because many statistical materials are available in the English language. Working with Data: Knowing the basics of working with data, such as collecting, organizing and cleaning data, can be helpful. Logical Thinking and Problem Solving: The ability to formulate and solve problems is key to the effective use of statistical methods. These are the basic professional knowledge and skills that students will benefit from acquiring before studying statistics. If the student does not have this knowledge, additional training or courses may be needed to be prepared for the subject of statistics.

Skills
In order to successfully master the subject of statistics, it is assumed that the student has certain professional skills and abilities before starting classes. These skills and abilities include: Mathematical Skills: The student should be able to perform basic mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, including using variables and symbols. Knowledge of Probabilistic Thinking: The student should be able to understand probabilistic concepts such as random events, probability distributions, and probabilistic modeling. Ability to Work with Data: The student should be able to collect, organize and analyze data. This includes the ability to create tables, graphs and statistical outputs. Statistical Analysis: The student should be able to perform basic statistical analyses, including the calculation of mean, median, quartiles, standard deviation and correlation. Skill in Logical Thinking: The student should be able to formulate logical arguments and solve statistical problems. Critical Thinking Ability: The student should be able to critically evaluate statistical results and recognize possible errors or distortions. Working with Statistical Software: The student should be able to work with statistical software such as R, Python with statistics libraries (eg numpy, scipy, pandas) or statistical packages such as SPSS or SAS. Communication of Results: The student should be able to clearly communicate his statistical results and conclusions both orally and in writing. Basic Knowledge of Statistical Concepts: The student should have a basic understanding of concepts such as probability, mean, variance, parameter estimation, hypothesis testing and confidence intervals.
