A statistician could help a lawyer answer the following questions.
- Was this data collected in a proper way?
- Does common sense apply here, or is there something subtle going on?
- What conclusions can we draw from the data?
- Is this analysis routine or is there something unusual about it?
- How much confidence can we place in the conclusions?
- How can you explain this to a jury?
- Did opposing counsel analyze their data properly?
