Distinguish between tests: Differentiating between parametric and non-parametric tests and understanding when to use each.
Align questions and hypotheses: Accurately linking research questions and hypotheses to the appropriate statistical test.
Verify conditions: Identifying the fundamental conditions required in the data prior to applying a test (such as normality of distribution).
Interpret results: Avoiding common selection errors and developing the ability to interpret analysis outputs in a scientifically sound manner.
