Statistics I

Statistics I

Students will learn to analyze and apply descrip- tive and inferential statistics, elements of prob- ability that support statistical theory, and theo- retical distributions. Tests of hypotheses will include z-tests, t-tests, chi-square tests, one- way and two-way analysis of variance, and nonpara- metric tests. Other topics included will be confidence intervals, correlation, linear regres- sion, and multiple regressions. Students will apply statistics to critical educational issues that require measurement, analysis, and decision making for organizational improvement. They will further design, conduct, and report a study that demonstrates their statistical skills. This course is required for all students who have not earned a grade of B or higher in statistics at the master's level and must be taken before EDDL 7333, Quantitative and Qualitative Methods & Analysis.
