Chapter 5 Understanding Fundamental Statistical Concepts

This chapter focuses more on statistical concepts than on using SAS. It discusses using PROC UNIVARIATE to test for normality. It also discusses hypothesis testing, which is the foundation of many statistical analyses. The major topics are the following:
