Builds off the materials learned in MATH 160 and introduces the students to a more intensive look at the descriptive and inferential methods commonly used in the behavioral sciences. Students will use descriptive measures of central tendency and variability, basic principles of probability, correlation, regression, and selected parametric and non-parametric inferential statistical methods to analyze and interpret data sets. The students will learn to read and interpret the “Results” section of a peer reviewed journal article in psychology as well as learn how to use a statistical software program (i.e., R or SPSS) to run and analyze data.
