Descriptive and inferential statistics including Chi-square, correlation and regression, t-test and ANOVA will be covered in detail.
The practical component of the unit covers the fundamental principles, application, interpretation and presentation of descriptive and inferential statistics in psychology. Students will use PC-based statistical software packages including SPSS 21.0 and Microsoft Excel.
