(52 - 50)/(10/sqrt(25)) Advanced Comparing two samples Differences of means and proportions, and paired samples. sqrt(4^2/20 + 3^2/25) Advanced Chi-square tests Goodness of fit, independence and homogeneity: comparing observed counts with expected ones. (20-25)^2/25 + (30-25)^2/25 Core Linear regression and correlation The least-squares line, the correlation coefficient, and prediction. line through (1,2) and (3,6) Advanced ANOVA and the F distribution Comparing several means at once by comparing variances. variance of 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9

Summarise data honestly: mean, median, mode, variance and standard deviation, each computed in the open. Counting principles and combinations feed straight into probability.

Întrebări pe care oamenii le întreabă

Mean or median, which should I use?

Median when the data have outliers or a long tail (incomes, house prices); mean when the data are roughly symmetric and you want every value to count. Report both if they disagree. The gap is itself information.

What does a p-value actually say?

The probability of seeing data at least this extreme if the null hypothesis were true. It is not the probability that the null hypothesis is true.

Why divide by n − 1 for the sample variance?

The sample mean sits closer to the sample than the true mean does, so squared deviations from it are slightly too small on average; dividing by n − 1 instead of n corrects the bias.
