Simplified for Laypeople

Study Groups Study Groups
Study Groups
Even graduate students fear statistics courses. Yet basic, descriptive and inferential statistics can be taught without complex equations and mathematical "mumbo-jumbo." This course simplifies statistics for laypeople and helps them understand how statistics are used and misused. Topics include: How do scientific researchers summarize and interpret their work? What does "statistically significant" mean? What is the difference between correlation and causation? More generally, how can one intelligently interpret research results reported in the media? Gerald Gardner, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor, U of M-Dearborn, has taught statistics in many courses. This class for those over 50 meets October 6 - 27.
