Hi The course notes mention alternative test statistics for two sample poisson and two sample binomial tests (without pooled sample mean/proportion). Will we be penalised in the exam if we use the alternatives? I find them easier to remember as they are the same formula used for confidence intervals. Thanks
Hi I am not sure what alternate formulas you are talking about. Can you state that alternate form (say) for the Poisson distribution?
Alas the exam tests the Core Reading - so they will be wanting the pooled estimator formulae. However, in real life you may use a variety....
