About the workshop

This workshop, following on from Quantitative Statistics 1, further explores hypothesis testing. Specifically, we will look at how to test for differences between groups, learning how to identify an appropriate statistical test and how to interpret results. Additionally, several probability distributions and their applicability will be explored. You should be familiar with using a Windows PC and will need your BUCS login details. Computer-based exercises will use SPSS, a widely used statistical package.

If you require specific advice on statistical analysis of your own research data, please contact the University's Statistics Advisory Service to arrange one-to-one guidance.
