outlined. Each concept must be described conceptually rather than purely mathematical terms.
No quotations are permitted in the summary. Everything MUST be written in your own words.
Interpretation and Generalization:
Last and most importantly, you will interpret whether the piece of information has correctly or
incorrectly used the statistical concepts. Explain the rationale behind your interpretation. Give
another example of a situation in which the use of the statistical concept can generalize. That is,
describe another situation that might use the same interpretation of the concept.
