課程概述

This is the first course, in a two-semester course series, designed primarily for undergraduate psychology majors or minors who anticipate future applications of statistical methods. Topics covered in this course include an overview of descriptive statistics, foundational concepts in inferential statistics (probability, population, sample, sampling methods, sampling distributions, estimation of population parameters, binomial and normal distributions), hypothesis significance testing (Type I and II errors, statistical power), and comparisons of means (t-test, one-way analysis of variance, multiple comparisons of means, effect size). Prerequisite of this course is a mastery of algebra and analytical geometry at the high-school level.  

課程目標
1. To acquire basic skills necessary for applying statistical principles of inference to well-defined
psychological research;
2. To enhance statistical thinking, reasoning, literacy, attitudes, and beliefs;
3. To be able to critically evaluate manuscripts in which statistical techniques covered in this course
were applied; and
4. To carry out numerical analyses of data by a hand-held calculator (e.g., Casio fx-260) or by IBM SPSS.
 
課程要求
Prerequisite of this course is a mastery of algebra and analytical geometry at the high-school level.
