The Applied View

This video is not on goodness of fit. Instead it should serve as preparation for the next lesson. Watch Two-Way Tables.

  2. What did Somerville include in its 2011 census that was unconventional?
  3. In the two-way table used to organize the responses to rating personal happiness and Somerville’s physical beauty, which variable was the row variable and which was the column variable? Explain.
