Synopsis A two-hour weekly seminar in elementary applied statistics that is designed to strengthen students' research skills. It follows on from SCY2150 which is a prerequisite. Seminars will cover basic survey sampling theory, measures of association and tests of significance. While SCY2150 and `Data appreciation' are not prerequisites for `The joy of `X': computer data processing and analysis using SPSS-X', they do provide a good background for students.
