Document Summary
The purpose of the course is to give you a working knowledge of descriptive statistics and how they are used and interpreted in psychological research. Descriptive statistics deal with the ways in which a collection of numbers can be summarized for clearer understanding and presentation. Descriptive statistics also underlie inferential statistics - techniques that allow you to infer properties about populations from data collected on samples from those populations. The course format consists of one three-hour class each week. Classes will consist of lecture, research demonstrations/data collection, and, on some occasions, tutorial review. Each class will usually be associated with a chapter in the textbook. Please note that the professor will not lend out or post lecture notes; it is your responsibility to borrow a classmate"s notes if you must miss a lecture. You should do the readings before the lecture so that you will have a frame of reference for understanding the material presented.
