- Principles of statistical analysis
2. Examine individual variables
- Identify measurement levels
- Chart individual variables
- Summarize individual variables
- Examine the normal distribution
- Examine standardized scores
3. Test hypotheses about individual variables
- Identify population parameters and sample statistics
- Examine the distribution of the sample mean
- Determine the sample size
- Test a hypothesis on the population mean
- Construct a confidence interval for the population mean
- Tests on a single variable: One-Sample T Test, Paired-Samples T Test, and Binomial Test
4. Test the relationship between categorical variables
- Chart the relationship between two categorical variables
- Describe the relationship: Compare percentages in Crosstabs
- Test the relationship: The Chi-Square test in Crosstabs
- Assumptions of the Chi-Square test
