Can someone help me with question #18 on the UT Austin Invitational B test? My answer was 2.2 and the answer key says 1.83.

The link to the test is here: https://utexas.app.box.com/s/5ckx9zggsh ... 36465065/1

Thanks so much!
Huh, I got 2.2 also. Not quite sure if the answer is correct. Maybe someone else can help us out, hmm?
Link doesn’t work :?
Huh, it works on my computers rip. It's in the test exchange as well.

I don't know if it's just my computer, but when I opened it there were only questions 1-17.
Did this happen to anyone/is there any way to fix that?

Yeah, the same happened for me. I was looking at the answer sheet and went "What?"
I guess it's just another bad test...

Hi! It's my team's first ever time at States this year (NY) and I would do anything to get top 3 in Disease. I doubt we're getting to nationals since we barely got into states, but either way I would love to do our adviser proud. Anyone have any practice tests or notes or tips that me and my partner can use to get it?

Here's a chart linked on soinc.org:

And I hope you already have this, cause it helped me a lot.

What are the formulas for Z-tests and T-tests? I've already got the chi-squares and the cochran Mantel-Haenszel tests down, and Fisher's exact test is coming along, but it's been hard for me to find resources about these tests in an epidemiology context. Thanks!
