During the first portion of the course we will review the concepts of
statistics that were previouly presented in the Introduction to
Statistics and Intermediate Statitics. Throughout the course we will
analyze a data set based on responses to a questionaire collected
from all over the USA. We will use the SPSS computer based
statistical routines to analyze the data set throughout the course.
There will be weekly homework projects and an end of the semester
individual project in which each student individually analyzes the
data set and writes up the results as one would for a journal.
The format of this report will be demonstrated in class.
