What This Document Is
This is a take-home assignment for Week 2 of BST 322, Introduction to Biomedical Statistics, at National University. It assesses students’ understanding of basic statistical concepts and their ability to apply those concepts using StatCrunch software. The assignment focuses on probability, confidence intervals, and t-tests.
Why This Document Matters
This assignment is intended for students enrolled in BST 322. It serves as a practical exercise to reinforce the statistical methods covered in the course’s second week. Successful completion demonstrates a student’s ability to formulate statistical questions, select appropriate tests, interpret results, and report findings. It is a graded component of the course.
What This Document Provides
The full assignment includes seven statistical problems requiring calculations and interpretations. Specifically, it covers: probability calculations with dice rolls, comparing sample means, constructing confidence intervals for a single mean, performing one-sample t-tests (including hypothesis testing and confidence interval estimation), reporting t-test results in sentence form, and performing both one-sample and two-sample t-tests on provided datasets. StatCrunch output is required for several problems. This preview does *not* include solutions, StatCrunch code, or detailed explanations of the statistical concepts.
