Description

Uses psychology research questions to explore research methods for the social sciences. Focuses on effective ways to understand and organize data with descriptive statistics, using the example of data collected from studies of young music students.

Covers a wide range of organization principles, including mode, median, and mean, discrete and continuous data, nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio data, standard deviation, and normal distribution.
