IGNOU MA Psychology MAPC | MPC-006 Statistics | Block1 Unit-4 Level of Significance | Dr Shivi Tyagi

Описание: This video is part of the IGNOU MAPC (MA Psychology) programme and covers MPC-006: Statistics in Psychology, focusing on Hypothesis Testing and Level of Significance.
In this lecture, Dr. Shivi Tyagi (Assistant Professor) explains the concept, logic, and application of hypothesis testing in psychology, with special emphasis on null hypothesis, confidence limits, standard error, and types of errors, presented in a clear, systematic, and exam-focused manner.

The lecture covers essential topics such as null hypothesis, errors in hypothesis testing, basic experimental situations, confidence limits, level of significance, standard error of the mean and median, one-tailed and two-tailed tests, sample size considerations, and step-by-step procedures for setting up hypothesis testing, strictly as per the IGNOU MPC-006 syllabus.

This session is specifically designed for IGNOU MAPC students, keeping in mind:

• Exact syllabus alignment
• Previous Year Questions (PYQs)
• Clear interpretation of statistical concepts
