Statistics & Hypothesis Testing
Also written as Hypothesis Testing, Statistical Analysis, Statistical Modeling, Statistical Modelling, Inferential Statistics, Statistical Significance, p-value, T-test, Chi-Square Test, ANOVA
The maths for drawing reliable conclusions from data: is a difference real, or just chance? Hypothesis tests such as t-tests, chi-square and ANOVA give a p-value, the chance of seeing a result at least this strong if there were really no difference. The basis of A/B testing and much of data science.
Think of it like
A referee's rules for deciding whether a goal really counts, instead of going with whoever shouts loudest.
Junior or senior?
Junior sounds like
Runs the test and reports the p-value.
Senior sounds like
Explains what the result means for the business, checks the test's assumptions, and knows when a 'significant' result is too small to matter.
Ask them
“Tell me about a result that looked significant but didn't matter in practice, or the reverse. How did you explain it to the business?”
