Note that answering those questions doesn’t require any advanced knowledge of statistics. Completing AP Statistics or an equivalent introductory course should suffice.
I don’t know what they teach in AP statistics, but as an extra data point, these topics weren’t all covered in my MA Public Policy ‘quantitative research methods’ class (at least not in depth)
Definitely agree with the main point though—taking that class has really seriously changed the way I read papers.
