- To accept the mean as the best measure.
- To urgently recommend using the median as a more robust measure of central tendency for skewed data to avoid misrepresenting the typical income.
- To ignore the skewness.
- To only use the mode.

- To immediately recommend the drug.
- To urgently explain that while statistically significant, the clinical relevance of such a small effect size is questionable and might not justify the drug's cost or side effects.
- To only focus on the p-value.
- To assume statistical significance equals clinical importance.

- To ignore the scatter plot.
- To assume all relationships are linear.

- Nominal variables.
- Continuous variables.
- Ordinal variables.
- To immediately accept the results.
- To urgently highlight the potential for observer bias and the need for objective outcome measures or blinded assessment to ensure validity.
- To disregard the p-value.
- To assume clinician assessment is always objective.
- Independent samples t-test.

- The predicted value of Y.
- The slope, representing the change in Y for a one-unit change in X.
- To only focus on the p-value.
- To urgently explain that while statistically significant, the absolute increase is only 5 percentage points, which might be less impressive than the relative increase, and to frame findings transparently.
