Overview

Over the course of this Area of Expertise, you have been introduced to the z test, t test, chi square test, and analysis of variance. This Competency Assessment asks you to demonstrate your understanding of each of these tests and when each is most appropriate.

Based on these computations, you will finally write a conclusion statement for each scenario.
