Check out Cy-Falls 2015, pg 13 for Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests. Very few tests are written with CMH in it. This is a national treasure If you don't have access to the test let me know.

Wright State 2015 (end section of test) and Cornell 2016 (q 20-25) are also good on general statistics. Again if you don't have access to these tests let me know.

Thanks for the great info! For some reason I can't seem to find the tests. Are they in the archive test exchange?

Does anyone know where I could find these tests? I don't think dcrxcode has been on since.

sorry I've been busy so haven't been online as much. but if you pm your email/facebook I can send them to you.

Can anyone give me an overview/explanation for the Division C statistics? Also how much does it appear on tests usually, is it really that important?

Whats the whole 'solve the outbreak' thing. I saw something about it when starting up and looked into it but could never find anything.

Try checking the Statistics Overview from soinc.org. As far as how often it shows up, it really depends. I've mostly seen them on higher competition invite tests and I'm sure they're on Nats tests, but they're a lot more rare on Regionals and even States tests depending on where you're from.

Solve the Outbreak is an online game made by the CDC which incorporates steps to outbreak investigation and guides you through the process for many different scenarios.

It's not a really useful study tool, but here's the link: https://www.cdc.gov/mobile/applications ... b-app.html

I believe so.

Where can I find what we should bring to the event? It's not at the top of the wiki like the others are.

It is however in the rules manual.

Do tests usually ask about past epidemics and/or recent outbreaks? (not related to food borne illness)

I haven't ever seen it before in a test for my state or nationals, but I have seen in other tests from other areas that it'll ask you to name a recent outbreak. Last year I put a few facts about the recent zika virus outbreak on my IS. I didn't end up needing it, but I'd be prepared with a bit of background information on a recent outbreak, just in case.
