The Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Olympics are aimed to encourage students to approach statistical reasoning, to arouse their interest in data analysis and probability, to enable them to better understand the meaning of the quantitative information they receive every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who it is aimed at<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The initiative is open to upper secondary school students (classes 1-4).
Students are enrolled by a contact teacher who maintains contact with Istat.
Winners in individual tests are inserted by the Ministry of Education in the \u201cAlbo nazionale delle eccellenze\u201d (National register of excellences) managed by Indire according to the provisions of the relevant Ministerial Decree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two tests: one individual and a team assignment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students first participate in the individual tests, which are usually held in January and consist of a set of multiple-choice questions, administered online, on statistics topics as set forth in the Competition Rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the close of the individual phase, qualified schools are admitted to the team phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
