MATH 1305 - Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences
This course introduces the Learner to the basic design methodologies and statistical techniques used in behavioral sciences. Some of the topics considered are mixed and correlation designs, analysis of variance and data collection procedures. These topics are divided into two parts: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.

Learning Outcomes:
  • Describe statistics.
  • Examine the scales of measurement.
  • Interpret frequency of distribution.
  • Explain the rules for graphing.
  • Compare measures of central tendency.
  • Summarize standard deviation and variance.
  • Explain the binomial probability distribution.
  • Describe the characteristics of the normal curve.
  • Demonstrate the step-by-step procedure for null testing.
  • Identify the sampling distribution of the differences between sample means.
  • Illustrate the visualization of ANOVA concepts.
  • Summarize the advantages of the two-factor design.
  • Compare correlation and causation.
  • Demonstrate the chi square goodness-of-fit test.
  • Explain the Mann-Whitney U Test.
  • Introduce self and explain course expectations.
  • Integrate the course concepts through interaction with other Learners and your Mentor.
  • Access information efficiently and effectively.
  • Evaluate information critically and competently.
  • Practices ethical behavior in regard to information and information technology.
