PSY3003A - Applied Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences

(2 units)

Students engage in an exploration of contemporary uses of applied statistics and their relationship to the study of individuals and groups. Students obtain an overview of the major statistical tests employed, their underlying assumptions, and the questions they help to address. Measures of central tendency, use of descriptive and inferential statistics, correlation, regression, and analysis of variance are explained. Instruction in the use of statistical software (i.e., SPSS/PASW) is provided. Hands-on application with current data bases is a highlight of this course.
