📝 Notes for Medium Priority Topics
- Level of Significance: Often appears as part of Hypothesis Testing answers; also comes as standalone Section C short note. Prepare the 5–6 steps in setting significance levels.
- Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test: Non-parametric alternative to paired t-test. Prepare the step-by-step ranked difference procedure.
- Multiple Regression: Usually a short conceptual question — distinguish from simple regression and explain multiple R.
- Linear & Non-linear Relationship: Often paired with a Spearman's Rho computation — explain both types with diagrams.
- Point & Interval Estimation: Straightforward conceptual distinction; appears as Section C short note.
- Skewness & Kurtosis: Overlaps with Divergence from Normality; prepare diagrams of positive/negative skewness and leptokurtic/platykurtic/mesokurtic.
