COURSE CODE NO .: Soc. Sci. 103

COURSE TITLE: Social Statistics I

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

A 54 hour, 3 unit course. This reviews students on basic statistics to

guide them with statistical techniques in their actual application in social science

research. This course introduces statistics as used in the study of social science.

Statistics is a set of tools and techniques researchers use to study to study and

describe the world. We will be study descriptive statistics including frequency

tables, measures of central tendency, and variability. We will also look at the

relationships between variables, including how to measure association and

bivariate regression. We will also learn inferential statistics and how to use

sample data to draw conclusions about a population .

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this course is to acquire statistical skills and applyknowledge on social researches, survey or studies.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

At the end of the course, the student should be able to:

1. Identify and explicate the basic statistical concepts of central tendency, measures ofvariability, measures of association, and hypothesis testing.

2. Explain with clear and concise wording random sampling techniques, why they arenecessary part of statistics.

3. Classify different distributions, noting when it is appropriate to employ them in inferentialstatistical analysis.

4. Evaluate other·s statistical analysis, including sample size, inferential techniques, and findingsbased upon analysis.
