Checking Your Work

Double-Check for Success

After solving a statistics problem, always review your steps. Make sure calculations are correct, answers make sense, and you've answered every part of the question. Look for simple mistakes, like mixing up mean and median or misreading a graph.

Examples

  • Re-reading a survey question to ensure you understood what was being asked.

  • Verifying calculations by plugging values back into the formula.
