5.3 Critiquing students' numerical summaries

In this activity, you get to critique actual student Project submissions, so you can critique your own before submission.

Critique the numerical summary in Fig. 5.3, a screenshot from a student Project Report. Identify ways to improve the numerical summary.

The RQ is 'What is the mean difference between the kicking distance using dominant and non-dominant legs?'

You don't know what 'standard error' means yet, so don't worry about that column.
