SOC 200 - STATS FOR SOC & BEHAV SCI

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to the concepts of descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of any research should be summarized by appropriate descriptive statistics such as central tendency, variability, and the shape of the distribution. Relationships will be studied using correlation, regression, and chi-square. Research which involves sampling will be analyzed by appropriate inferential statistics such as t-tests and ANOVA. Sampling error, hypothesis testing, significance levels, Type I Error, Type II Error, and power will be discussed. In addition, the student will be introduced to SPSS for Windows, Microsoft Excel, and/or other appropriate software for performing descriptive and inferential statistical procedures presented throughout the course. No students (Sociology or non-Sociology majors) may receive credit for both POL/PSY/SOC 200 and SOC 201 due to substantial overlap.
