What it is a confounding variable. When we can draw conclusion about correlations and when about causation? 3. What is the difference between census and the sampling? What are the sampling methods? What are the possible sources of the sampling bias. 4. How we define point estimate of sample statistics: measures of center and spread. What does it mean "robust statistics".
