PSY 200-F2: Statistics I (Fall 2021 Watson)

In this course, you will gain an understanding of descriptive statistics (used to summarize data) and basic inferential statistics (used to test hypotheses and draw conclusions) using the “classical” or “frequentist” model. You will learn to apply the principles learned during the course to not only to better understand psychology and other fields of scientific research, but also to understand how statistics are used (and sometimes abused) in daily life. Topics will include the properties of numerical distributions, measures of central tendency, variability, correlation and bivariate regression, t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and a tiny (and I mean tiny) bit on nonparametric statistical techniques. I also promise that all these words will make sense by the end of the semester. In addition, you will gain experience using statistical software (JASP) to analyze and display research data. Finally, you will gain experience in presenting research findings in American Psychological Association (APA) format.
