<p>You’re given two tables, <em>payments</em> and <em>users</em>. The payments table holds all payments between users with the <code>payment_state</code> column consisting of either <code>&#34;success&#34;</code> or <code>&#34;failed&#34;</code>. </p>

<p>How many customers that signed up in January 2020 had a combined (successful) sending and receiving volume greater than $100 in their first 30 days?</p>

<p><em>Note: The <code>sender_id</code> and <code>recipient_id</code> both represent the <code>user_id</code>.</em></p>

<p>Suppose there exists a new airline named Jetco that flies domestically across North America. Jetco recently had a study commissioned that tested the boarding time of every airline, and it came out that Jetco had the fastest average boarding times of any airline.</p>

<p>What factors could have biased this result, and what would you look into?</p>


<p>What could potentially bias the average boarding time in favor of an airline that only flies domestically?</p>

What could potentially bias the average boarding time in favor of an airline that only flies domestically?

Boarding Times Bias

A new airline came out as the fastest average boarding times compared to other airlines.  What factors could have biased this result and what would you look into?

<p>You are testing hundreds of hypotheses with many <em>t</em>-tests. What considerations should be made?</p>


<p>What is a key disadvantage of the F-test when compared to multiple t-tests?</p>

What is a key disadvantage of the F-test when compared to multiple t-tests?
