This is primarily aimed at first- and second-year undergraduates interested in psychology, data analysis, and quantitative research methods along with high school students and professionals with similar interests.
This course delves into the foundational concepts of probability and statistics, emphasizing the importance of random sampling and the normal distribution. Students will learn to apply statistical methods, including z-scores, effect size, and confidence intervals in the context of null hypothesis significance testing. The course also covers the implications of the central limit theorem and the relationship between statistical power and error types.
