A utilização do esporte no ensino da Estatística: o caso prático do futebol. 2021. 92f. Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Matemática em Rede Nacional) - Centro de Ciências Exatas e da Terra, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2021.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/43740This work aims to to presente some concepts of descriptive statistics and use it as a comparison tool, using Microsoft Excel, in the context of football. The work will also serve to satisfy the curiosity of those who like the sport, as it will show comparisons between Brazilian Soccer Championships of the A series over the years, through graphics and measurements of position and variation. These results can be seen as average predictions and estimates of what happens in the championships, and can be used to set goals and objectives for the teams. The dissertation will also show how statistics is involved in this context, showing patterns in the occurrences in championships, with a theoretical basis, using definitions, tables, graphs, measures of central tendency, dispersion and how they can be used. One of the goals is also to make students, guided by the Professor, work on the idea of data collection, analysis and presentation, seeking to make statistical comparisons within a similar situation, such as in another sport. As a tool for the development of the work we will have Microsoft Excel, a software known by many people, easy to use and access, which helps in the creation of tables, graphs and calculation of measures.Acesso AbertoEstatísticaFutebolComparaçãoExcelmasterThesis
