Statistical pathways - a method of visualization statistical rules

The aim of this article is the application of flow charts in teaching statistics. It contains three exemplary diagrams concerning the most common tests such as independent one-sample, two-sample t-test and one-way analysis of variance. They present particular steps in process of selection the most relevant test. Hypothesis testing is a powerful tool in science because of the potential to explain causality. Unfortunately students have difficulties in recognition the correct test. Such diagrams could facilitate the understanding and studying statistical rules. All flowcharts presented in this paper have been prepared using the authoring tool called BIT Pathways.
