ED 8100 - Introduction to Statistics

(3)

Students will explore statistics from both conceptual and applied perspectives. Basic concepts such as levels of measurement, central tendency, variance, probability and sampling theory, Central Limit Theorem, and the normal curve will be presented. Additionally, measures of association and hypothesis testing techniques such as correlations, t-test, Chi-Square, and regression will be presented. These concepts and techniques, along with proper presentation of results, will be examined through evaluation of published scholarly literature in order for the student to understand the application of the concepts and the value of statistical analysis.
