5 important questions on STATISTICAL INFERENCE: MAKING DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS - ONE AND TWO-TAILED TESTS - Two-Tailed Tests for Means

*How are you gonna decide if you will use means or proportions?

Use means for numbers (age, weight, height), and use proportions for others (comparing groups).

True or False. A z-score converts a sample mean into a place on the standard normal distribution.

  • Higher grades + faster learning
  • Never study anything twice
  • 100% sure, 100% understanding
