Omschrijving	Statistical data are the primary means by which hypotheses are tested and inferences are drawn in the social sciences. When a psychologist runs an experiment to learn about memory, when a sociologist surveys people about their social connections, and when a biologist measures how allele frequency changes over time in a population of bacteria, the results are data. Knowing how to interpret and learn from data is critical to being a successful researcher. Statistics 1A introduces students to data: its properties, how to describe it, how to visualize it, and an introduction to modeling data using probability theory. The knowledge gained in Statistics 1A will lay the foundation for Statistics 1B, in which students will learn the basics of statistical inference.
