      * Multiple comparisons procedures including Bonferroni’s inequality, Scheffe’s multiple comparison procedures, and Tukey’s multiple comparison procedures. 
      * Decomposing chi-square sums of squares.
      * Expected value and variance of sums of squares.

2) Learn classical statistical designs.
      * One-way layout.
