Description
This lesson centers around introducing 4 fundamental statistical tests used in biology: correlations, t-tests, ANOVAs, and X2 (chi-square) tests. Students will first work through a worksheet to identify when each test should be conducted and what the appropriate research hypothesis would be for each experiment. Students then turn to swirl to dig into statistical hypotheses in the context of these scenarios to run and interpret statistical analyses in R.
