- The script of the nine questions used to describe various statistical tool.

Q1Re-code the string data into numeric values by allotting each group a number
Q2Transform the continuous age variable into a categorical age variable.
Q3Find mode, median and range.
Q3bCalculate mean and standard deviation for continuous variables and frequency and per cent for categorical variables.
Q3cCalculate the skewness of the data.
Q4aWhat is the most accurate statistical test for the variables (continuous variable) and (continuous variable)? Perform it and give its coefficient and p-value.
Q4bFor the above continuous variables, perform simple linear regression analysis if applicable with y as dependant and x as an independent variable.
Q5What is the most accurate statistical test for the variables (continuous variable) and (dichotomous categorical variable)? Perform it and give its coefficient and p-value.
Q6What is the most accurate statistical test for the variables (continuous var) & (categorical variable > 2 levels)? Perform it and give its coefficient and p-value. Do a post hoc test for the ANOVA test.
Q7What is the most accurate statistical test for the variables (categorical variable) & (categorical variable)? Perform it and give its coefficient and p-value.
Q8Perform multiple linear regression/Logistic regression with (y) as the dependent variable (based on the dataset).
Q9Make appropriate charts: continuous vs continuous variable plot, chart of normality for a continuous variable and cluster bar chart of frequency for categorical variable
