What's on the site

AI-generated content

The practice questions on this site — including biological scenarios, organism names, variable descriptions, and numerical values — were generated with the help of Claude Sonnet 4.6 (Anthropic). These scenarios are entirely fictional and should not be treated as real research findings or cited as sources.

The statistical methodology — test selection logic, worked solutions, and formula content — has been reviewed for correctness by the course instructor. That said, AI-generated content can occasionally contain errors or quirks. If you notice something that seems wrong or unclear, please use the Report an issue button at the bottom of any worked answer to flag it.

In contrast, any data from actual published studies (as seen in the course textbook and lecture slides) would be properly cited. No real study data appear on this site without attribution.
