Hey everyone,
I do the new AQA A level biology syllabus, and I was just wondering if we actually need to know how to do all the tests mentioned on our syllabus (standard error + 95% confidence intervals, chi-squared, spearman's rank and t-test) or do we just need to know when to apply them??
Any help will be appreciated!!!
EDIT:

I'm confused because in the first table shown (link), they expect us to know how to select and use the test, but on the next page, it says that :
"In written examinations, students might be asked to perform simple calculations such as finding a mean value. Students will not be asked to perform a calculation using a statistical test (or to calculate the standard deviation of a mean)."
