Statistical Research Design

Catalog description

This course will concentrate on the practice of statistics and applied research methods as tools for learning about the world. Statistical and nonstatistical sampling techniques will be developed and applied to the research process. Sampling distributions will be evaluated and used to draw conclusions about population data. Confidence intervals and hypothesis testing will be used as a framework for designing research processes. The process of formulating the null and alternative hypotheses will be examined. Methods useful for the analysis of experimental data include descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. Prerequisite: DOL-720
