Organizing data by frequency distributions and graphics, obtaining and interpreting descriptive statistics for the several distributions are the first step. Learning properties of normal distribution, transforming raw scores into standard scores, using standard scores in relation to norms of psychological tests constitute an important part of this course. Correlation and lineer regression analysis are the most basic analysis that will help students understanding the nature of statistical analysis.
