15. In small groups we used T-test to look at people’s height divided between males and females and then people’s height grouped by the first letter of their last name. Then we collated the data for whole lab to look at the effect of sample size on statistical significance. Then we used R 2 analysis to look at data with 2 variables Head circumference vs birth month Height vs head circumference
