    • The chi-square (χ²) test of independence investigates the relationship between customer transportation methods and purchase behavior using a sample of 100 customers.

    • The chi-square goodness of fit test is applied to evaluate the distribution of rarity levels in trading cards based on a sample of 500 cards.

    • A z-interval for proportion estimates the percentage of app users utilizing an updated version through a random sample.

    Comparing Groups

    • A two-sample t-test assesses the difference in avocado prices between two cities, with each brother sampling shops in their respective locations.

    • A slope test examines the correlation between time spent on a midterm exam and scores, based on random observations of students.

    • A z-test for proportion evaluates the current percentage of foreign-born citizens in the US against a prior census figure from a random sample of 1,000 citizens.

    • A two-sample z-test for proportions measures success rates of bottle-flipping with either hand based on attempts made by Julian.

    Exploring Correlations

    • A t-test for slope investigates the relationship between a runner's age and their marathon finishing time, using a random sample of finishers.

    • A t-test for mean determines if a website's average user session length has increased after a design change based on a sample of 100 users.

    • A paired t-test is utilized to assess if a new swim cap impacts swimmers' lap times by comparing results from two laps per swimmer using different caps.
