Statistics for Psychology

Chapter 1 Introduction
I’m writing this because students seem to collectively suffer when it comes to learning statistics. Why is that? I want to fix it and make everyone’s lives easier. I love statistics! Why shouldn’t you? (Note to self: that sounds a little cheesy. Perhaps I should through in some more sass).
No, seriously, I love stats. It’s actually kind of cool to see how real-life things can become numbers. It’s especially exciting when those numbers become graphics that can reveal things you wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.
Anyways, I’m a student too. I get it. You probably aren’t even reading this. That’s okay, you have like 3 exams to study for and a paper to write. Best of luck to you! My goal is for this to be as minimalist and digestable as possible to spare you time.

Special thanks to the professors who made me love math: Dr. Christina Aldrich, Dr. Christopher Koch, Dr. Sue O’Donnell, and Dr. Kelly Chang. Love you all!
