Course Description This course covers the basic concepts and procedures in descriptive and inferential statistics. As a follow up of MATH 233 Statistics I course, this course begins with the review of basic concepts such as standard deviation, standardized scores (i.e., z-scores), standard error, the distribution of sample means, and probability and normal distribution. The course will continue with the methods for hypothesis testing and describing relationships between two (or more) variables, t-statistic, the t-test for the two independent and related samples, estimation, analysis of variance test for differences among two or more population means (ANOVA), correlations, and nonparametric tests.
Course Description in Turkish Bu ders, tanımlayıcı ve çıkarımsal istatistikteki temel kavramları ve prosedürleri kapsar. MATG233 İstatistik I dersinin devamı niteliğinde olan bu ders, standart sapma, standartlaştırılmış puanlar (yani, z puanları), standart hata, örnek ortalamaların dağılımı ve olasılık ve normal dağılım gibi temel kavramların gözden geçirilmesiyle başlar. Ders, hipotez testi ve iki (veya daha fazla) değişken arasındaki ilişkileri tanımlama yöntemleri, t-istatistiği, iki bağımsız ve ilgili örnek için t-testi, tahmin, iki veya daha fazla popülasyon arasındaki farklar için varyans analizi (ANOVA), korelasyonlar ve parametrik olmayan testlerle devam edecektir..
