The topics covered will include descriptive statistics, sampling distributions, estimation, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and regression.

This course is specifically devoted to quantitative reasoning. We use statistical concepts and techniques to organize, describe, and draw inferences from quantitative data in the domain of psychology. All quizzes, homework, computer labs, and final data analysis project focus on quantitative reasoning skills.
