Review Materials for Andy Oswald’s PSYC 2317 Basic Statistics Classes

 

These are from the multiple choice test bank that comes with a teacher edition, so to speak.  Remember that I do not always cover all of a chapter, and we skip some chapters completely, so what you find out here is based on the book, not what you will be tested on – which is what I covered or told you would be tested on.  Last thing  - as you know, there are occasional small points that the book and I do not agree on!  For the exam, refer to your notes, and what ‘I’ said… 

 

These Chapters refer to an older edition of the book, NOT the 8th.  Pretty close, though…
