Choosing the Correct Analysis Practice Problems

Guidelines First ask: how many groups? Then: what type of data? –If binary, summarized by a proportion. –If measurement, summarized by a mean. Then: what research question? –If “is there a difference?”, hypothesis testing. –If “how much of a difference?”, then confidence interval estimation.
