AB  - The  statistical  methods  we  have  been  discussing  permit  you  to  estimate  the  certainty  of  statements  and  precision  of  measurements  that  are  common  in  the  biomedical  sciences  and  clinical  practice  about  a  population  after  observing  a  random  sample  of  its  members.  To  use  statistical  procedures  correctly  one  needs  to  use  a  procedure  that  is  appropriate  for  the  study  design  and  the  scale  (i.e.,  interval,  nominal,  ordinal  or  survival)  used  to  record  the  data.  All  these  procedures  have,  at  their  base,  the  assumption  that  the  samples  were  selected  at  random  from  the  populations  of  interest.  If  the  study  as  conducted  does  not  satisfy  this  randomization  assumption,  the  resulting  P  values  and  confidence  intervals  are  meaningless.
