Computation, application, and interpretation of the major descriptive and introductory inferential techniques. Topics include measurement, frequency distributions, graphing, central tendency, variability, binomial and normal distributions, standard scores, correlation, regression, hypothesis testing, z-tests, one-sample t-tests, two-sample t-tests, analysis of variance, and nonparametric significance tests. Students may not receive credit for more than one 200-level statistics course. However, a student who has received credit (and a grade of at least C-) for ECON 205, GEOG 278, MATH 242, MATH 262, PLSC 251, or SOCL 211 may use this course in place of PSYC 250 to fulfill the statistics requirement for the major or minor. The student must then complete an additional psychology elective in order to reach the 45 credits in psychology required for the major (or 21 credits required for the minor).

Prerequisite(s): PSYC 100 and three years of high school mathematics.
