Common tests include the t-test, chi-square test, and F-test. Each of these tests serves specific purposes, such as comparing means or assessing relationships between categorical variables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"regression-analysis\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regression_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>Regression Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We use it to understand the relationship between dependent and independent variables.
