Drawing on data from the survey of former students, the primary purpose of this analysis is to identify determinants of students' performance in a sociological statistics class. Multiple correlation regression was used in analyzing the data. The results revealed that student status, previous courses taken in mathematics and statistics were the most important predictors. A student's gender does not have a significant effect on performance in the course. The findings suggest that the more mathematics and statistics courses a student have taken before enrolling in any statistics class may contribute to his or her overall performance.
