Abstract: 

This study was conducted to determine the effect of previous mathematics, statistics, and computer science coursework; attitudes toward statistics and computers; and mathematics ability on statistics achievement. A secondary purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the computer laboratory component of an inferential statistics class on the end of course attitudes toward statistics and computers controlling for precourse attitudes.
