At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• distinguish between the concepts of descriptive and inductive statistics.
• explain the meaning of inferential statistics.
• explain the different parametric and non-parametric inferential statistical methods, their areas of application, their benefits and limitations as well as the most common misunderstandings conceptually and technically.
• select an adequate inferential statistical procedure to answer a content-related question, carry it out independently and competently and evaluate and report the results appropriately.

none

• parameter estimation, confidence interval, hypothesis testing
• parametric inferential statistical procedures: t-test, F-test
• non-parametric inferential statistical methods: U-test, W-test, Chi2-test
• Carrying out inferential statistical procedures with the help of statistical software: exercise and evaluation examples in SPSS

Combined module examination
The module grade is calculated from the ECTS-weighted average of the result of the course "Statistics II" and the result of the integrative module part (course "Methods of Scientific Work II" and course "Fundamentals of Empirical Social Research II"). The result of the integrative module part is calculated from the ECTS-based weighted average of the integrative module examination parts in the courses "Methods of Scientific Work II" and "Fundamentals of Empirical Social Research II". The module grade is calculated as follows:
ILV "Statistics II" - 2 ECTS credits
Examination character: continuous
Type of examination: Exercise sheets, presentation of exercises, written final examination
33% of the result is included in the module grade
