Inferential statistics: confidence intervals, correlation, linear regression, chi-square, margin of error and p-values. More than anywhere else on this site, the result depends on assumptions you must verify yourself — independence, sample size and distribution shape. A p-value computed on data that violates them is not evidence of anything.

About

A statistical method is selected from the study question, data structure and assumptions, not from which result looks most favorable. A descriptive score summarizes observations, a confidence interval describes uncertainty under a model, and a hypothesis test asks a specified comparison question.

Summarize and relate observations

Use z-scores or percentiles to locate a value relative to a distribution. Correlation and linear regression describe different relationships; their outputs do not by themselves establish a causal explanation or validate a fitted model.

Plan or evaluate an inferential calculation

Confidence intervals, p-values and chi-square calculations require method-specific inputs and assumptions. Sample-size tools are planning scenarios whose inputs, such as uncertainty or effect assumptions, must be chosen for the actual study.

Report the method with the result

Keep the sample definition, units, model assumptions and rounding alongside the numerical output. A small p-value, a narrow interval or a large sample-size result is not a substitute for checking data quality and the research design.
