Measurement Error

Refers to the difference between the true value of a measurement and the recorded value due to various factors such as instrument error or human error.

T-tests

Statistical tests used to compare the means of two groups and determine if they are significantly different from each other.

Statistically Different

Correlation Coefficients

Statistical measures that quantify the direction and strength of the relationship between two numerical variables.
