Biology - Statistical Tests in Medicine
From the Integrating Mathematical Problem Solving project by Mathematics in Education and Industry (MEI), this activity for post-16 students demonstrates that if a link is suspected between a risk factor and an illness, statistical methods can be used to test whether such a link exists. Topic areas covered are:
• Statistical hypothesis testing
• Chi squared test for a contingency table
