Inferential Statistics for A Level Psychology (Bundle - lesson, activities and assessment)

3 Years of learning, teaching and tweaking has gone into this resource to help learners understand and apply Inferential Statistics.

The PowerPoint is designed to be taught during lesson time and should take between 3-4 hours. It covers: Levels of Measurement, Selection and Justification of an Inferential Statistical Test, Observed Values, Critical Values, Critical Values Tables, Probability Levels, Significance, Type 1 & Type 2 Errors.

All question in the slides have full answers or explanations in the NOTES SECTION.

I tend to use narrow margins on my documents, so if any of the formatting is ‘out’ then change the margins to narrow, or get in contact with me here, or on twitter @blonde_pretzel or on YouTube: Psychology Students and will help you deal with any issues. If you have any questions then please do get in touch.
