Uncommon Sense - Tools to Improve your Work Forever

Change or Chance? Understanding Hypothesis Testing


Listen Later

When you spot a difference in your data, is it because something has genuinely changed, or is it just chance?

Join Niall Coney, Consultant at PMI, as he demystifies hypothesis testing: one of the most misunderstood tools in improvement. From p-values to t-tests, Niall breaks it down in practical terms, showing how the right statistical ‘screwdriver’ can give you the confidence to act on your data. 

Plus, a relatable lesson in learning to trust the numbers, even when they don’t tell you what you want to hear! Listen now and take the guesswork out of improvement.
