UNIT8 This is an opportunity for you to evaluate the effectiveness of inferential statistics in health care. Please respond in first person, share personal experiences, and ask questions to further develop your understanding of how to analyze a data set using inferential statistics. Now that you are an experienced explorer locating evidence-based research articles, you are prepared to locate your own.
