5.2 Critiquing students' numerical summaries

In this activity, you get to critique actual student Project submissions, so you can critique your own before submission.

  1. Critique the numerical summary in Fig. 5.3, a screenshot from a student Project Report. Identify ways to improve the numerical summary.

    The RQ is 'What is the mean difference between the kicking distance using dominant and non-dominant legs?'

You don't know what 'standard error' means yet, so don't worry about that column.
