Choosing appropriate statistical procedures and understanding the statistics behind the software packages are an essential part of a survey researcher’s skill set. This course offers participants a unique opportunity to ask that “embarrassing” statistical question they have always wanted to ask. It is intended as a thorough refresher for those who have had some statistics in their past. Key issues covered will include:
- overview of quantitative analysis considerations for surveys (including statistical theory and methods of inference)
- descriptive statistics
- some do’s and don’ts of graphs and tables
- measures of central tendency and dispersion
- inferential statistics
- confidence intervals for means and proportions
- hypothesis testing
- two-sample t-tests (for independent and paired data)
- chi-square test of independence.
Participants need to bring a calculator with a square root function.
