About Mark Ray

I am a middle aged man trying to find my way in an increasingly complex world. Despite the ever-changing landscape of life, I commonly find myself projecting a stoic reminder to colleagues and classmates that you only get something out of it if you give back. Find humor in the common and purpose in adversity, then let the cards fall where they may.

  1. Mark,
    Thanks for your review of the Bivariate Chi-Square test and errors. You presented the difference between Type 1 and 2 errors in way that I understood and their significance. Like you said, random samples aren’t infallible, so measures have to be put in place to avoid Type 1 and 2 errors as much as possible. Setting a lower significance level is a way to reduce the probability of a 1 or 2 error.
