| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the role of statistics in turfgrass research testing, stating that "many of the ideas behind statistical procedures seem like common-sense yet their importance in designing an investigation and producing factual analysis can not be underestimated." Defines several terms associated with statistics, including null hypothesis, significance testing, confidence interval, power, least significant difference, and sampling. Concludes that "every consumer needs some basic understanding of statistics in order to question and understand the claims that are made about a product or practice." |
