Summarise data using key statistics and important graphical methods. Make better decisions about whether a variable has an effect or not by conducting significance tests such as t tests or F tests. Spot relationships between variables where they exist and discount them where they don't by using regression analysis. Use ANOVA to identify which variables have an effect on critical to quality characteristics. Make better decisions.

Day 1 –
