Part 2 Graphical data analysis: graphical analysis of single data sets; graphical comparisons of two or more data sets; scatterplots and enhancements; graphs for multivariate data. Part 3 Describing uncertainty: definition of interval estimates; interpretation of interval estimates; confidence intervals for the median; confidence intervals for the measn; nonparametric prediction intervals; parametric prediction intervals; confidence intervals for quantiles (percentiles); other uses for confidence intervals. Part 4 Hypothesis tests: classification of hypothesis tests; structure of hypothesis test; the rank-sum test as an example of hypothesis testing; tests for normality.
