Statistics I (PSY201) introduces students to the principles of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. The course equips students with the fundamentals of descriptive and inferential statistics, fostering the ability to critically evaluate research and statistical claims in both academic and everyday contexts. Main topics to be covered include variables and measurement, frequency distributions, data visualization, central tendency, variability, z-scores, probability, sampling, t-tests, ANOVA, correlations, and regressions.

Students will learn to define statistical and research terms, calculate and interpret measures of central tendency and variability, and choose appropriate statistical tests for analyzing data. They will also develop skills to communicate statistical findings effectively to diverse audiences, report results following APA guidelines, and assess the validity of statistics in media reports. The course emphasizes recognizing misleading statistical claims, understanding the limitations of hypothesis testing, and exploring ethical considerations in the use of statistics.

Completion of PSY100 or equivalent is required to enroll, and students with credit in specific overlapping courses - such as ECO220, STA238, or SOC202 - are excluded from taking PSY201.
