This course introduces you to statistical methods for describing, analysing, and interpreting data in social sciences. Throughout the course, you are expected to get a firm understanding of statistical concepts, applications of statistical methods, and interpretation of the results of statistical analyses. You will learn to summarize sample and population data, to infer characteristics of a population from sample observations, and to summarize relationships between variables. The course will introduce statistical ideas, vocabulary, and rules which may be new to many of you. The pace of this course is moderate but relentless, so it is essential that you do not fall behind. You will have something to prepare for class every week. The quizzes and homework are scheduled to encourage steady, consistent application on your part.
