STAT 113 - Course Outline

1. Collecting Data
   
   
   1. Sampling: random samples; use of tables of random digits; sources of bias in sampling human populations; multistage and stratified samples; random selection as public policy.
      Applications: Opinion polling, TV ratings, government economic and social statistics.
   
   
   
   2. Design of experiments: randomized comparative experiments; blocking and other elaborations; ethics of experimentation on human subjects.
      Applications: medical experiments, social policy experiments.
   
   
   
   3. Measurement: bias, reliability and validity; scales of measurement; good and bad data.
      Applications: measuring unemployment, critiquing the use of data in persuasion.
   
   
   
2. Organizing and Describing Data
   
   
   1. Tables and graphs: bivariate frequency tables; common graphs and their abuses; frequency distributions; the normal distributions.
   
   
   
   2. Numerical summary measures: mean, median, mode; percentiles and boxplots; standard deviation and variance; correlation and regression; the question of causation.
      Applications: smoking and health, standardized tests as predictors.
   
   
   
   3. Index numbers and related topics: index numbers, interpretation of time series data.
      Applications: The Consumer Price Index; national economic indicators; social indicators.
   
   
   
3. Formal Statistical Reasoning
   
   
   1. Probability: what is probability; simulation using random digits; expected values and the law of large numbers.
