    Information

    Aims, contents and method of the course

    Statistics 2 deals with inferential statistics, that is the generalization from samples to populations. A main focus is on testing hypotheses. The aim of the lecture is to convey statistical knowledge which enables students to analyse data independently and to critically evaluate published results.
    The lecture focuses on those methods that are commonly used in sociology. The examples are oriented at current sociological research and are usually based on the European Social Survey.

    The following topics are covered in the lecture:
    - Probability theory
    - Probability distributions and central limit theorem
    - Point and interval estimation
    - Significance tests
    - Statistical fallacies
    - Outlook on multivariate analyses

    The lecture is accompanied by exercises and a tutorial.

    Assessment and permitted materials

    There will be a written exam at the end of the semester. Registration is through u:space. The exam will cover material from the lectures as well as the textbook. A calculator as well as a sheet with formulas may be used during the exam. The use of notebooks, smartphones, and similar electronic devices as well as programmable calculators is prohibited. The formula sheet is a handwritten, self-designed A4 sheet (write on both sides) with formulas, notes, etc. Please note that it must be handwritten (i.e. not created with the computer, no slides copied into it).
