What Our Students Say
It was a great session. I learnt a lot of things regarding application of various tools and T test. However, if this course contained a little outline of other tests like z test, f test, ANOVA etc, it would have been the best. Nevertheless, the course was great! Thank you CFI for this.
Himanshu Soni
Thanks a lot for this course. It is very hard but very well designed with videos and handouts. We need that you emphasize on case studies related to sample size calculations according to situations
