You need to understand that a category cannot be magically transformed into a float. Yeah, maybe not the best example on my part. For the 101 level, I agree; I’d say you need a good understanding of basic probs and stats, rather than a vague understanding of advanced topics. If you can spot when somebody says something about a dataset, the assertion is true only if the data is normally distributed, but there’s no checking about the actual distribution, you’re probably good to go.
