Abstract

Cites that the application of statistical methods is becoming increasingly prevalent in litigation which brings a number of issues to the fore, including which techniques, appropriate measures and sizes of disparity. Concentrates on the “two‐tailed test” for the population mean and for the population proportion. Provides examples of their use in court and evaluates the issues raised. Discusses the 80 per cent rule.
