Introduction to statistics

A course in introductory frequentist statistics for absolute beginners, including those with an apprehension towards anything that appears mathematical.
This course was designed for students in special needs education at the University of Oslo, many of whom have absolutely no background in statistics or any mathematics beyond middle school.
The course relies heavily on simulations and visual demonstrations and explains everything from scratch, building up a solid nonmathematical foundation toward understanding the three main pillars of introductory statistical testing: the chi-square test of proportions, t-tests, and bivariate correlations. A brief follow-up introduces the very basics of oneway ANOVA, interactions, and simple linear regression.
If you know nothing about statistics -- and maybe are a little afraid of it -- but need to learn some, or are just curious, this course is for you!
