摘要

This chapter describes common statistical methods that are used to generate the P-values needed for hypothesis testing. The chapter begins with a description of how a statistical method is selected to analyze a given set of data. Then, the methods are explained in a mostly nonmathematical manner, elucidating the hypotheses tested, how the tests can be performed using Excel, and how to obtain the corresponding P-values. Finally, the P-values are interpreted relative to the null hypothesis. Numerous examples demonstrate these procedures.
