Description:
The purpose of the course is to help delegates understand some basic statistical concepts and develop a strategy for approaching a simple data analysis. The course will introduce basic concepts such as hypothesis testing and confidence interval estimation. It will provide the tools to undertake a simple analysis of a dataset and include some helpful hints and tips for reading and understanding reported statistics.
By the end of this course, attendees will understand basic approaches to statistical inference including hypothesis testing and confidence interval estimation. They will be equipped with the skills necessary to undertake simple analyses and to understand some of the basic terms often used to report statistical results. The course will mainly use calculations by hand to aide understanding but day 2 will include using Excel and/or SPSS to perform statistical tests.
This course is aimed at those who have either never undertaken a formal statistics course, or who may have studied some statistics in the past but wish to undertake a refresher. It is also ideal for statistical novices who may have never had any formal training but are starting to encounter statistics in their work and wish to gain some insight.
