HW for Wed 9/4--Stats

Read the pages on Statistics--691-699. It covers all the basics that you need to know about stats that you need for this course. I will have some practice work for you in class. Check the comments from the previous blog for some hints on dealing with stats. I will post some more here. In terms of content:

• descriptive stats
• inferential stats
• measures of central tendency
• normal curve
• standard deviation
• graphing stats
• correlation--more detail

Remember that Stats are simply a way for researchers to quantify and understand the results from the research that they do.
