Statistics in a Nutshell

Possible questions I might ask next time in class:

  • What is the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics?
  • When is the mean not representative for a data set and why?
  • What is a normal distribution? Why is it important to test whether a data sample is normally distributed?
  • What statistical method can be used to compare two group means contributed by two independent groups?
  • When should a one-way ANOVA test be used? Describe a research question that fits the one-way ANOVA test.

Submission: You do not need to submit anything for this sessions.

OPTIONAL: Misuse of Statistics and/or Visualizations?

Do you know of any further examples for misleading or even the faulty use statistics or data visualizations? If so, please share!
