Not only providing the students with the major functions of statistics but also enhancing their knowledge on major terms, measurement scales, basic assumptions of the subject course and thereby helping them gain the bacgrounds of which statistical test to be used under what circumstances. At the end of this course the students can:
•differentiate measurement levels in statistics.
•operationalize statistical null and alternative hypothesis.
•compute the areas under the normal curve and form the basic assumptions of sampling distribuitons.
•correctly employ and conduct parametric statistical tests for one sample, two or more independent samples and two dependent samples.
•interpret the outcomes of non-parametric single independent variable non-parametric tests.
