Feature request Learn Stats module

Is your feature request related to a JASP module?

Other

Describe the solution you would like

Introduce a first question in the Learn Stats -> Statistical Test Decision Tree: "Are you testing a difference between groups, or an association between variables?"

Describe alternatives that you have considered

None

Additional context

An analysis starts with a question. The decision tree now presents the the analyses one can do given the nature of the data, but I think it is educational to present the analyses that help answer the research question. In NHST the most common two types of questions are "is there a difference (between groups)" and "is there an association (between variables)"?

Taking this approach you can also include analyses such as "looking for patterns" and direct the user to the Factor module with PCA, EDA, etc.

(BTW: thanks for the Learn Stats module! I already alerted my 1st Biology students! And, on behalf of my students as well, thanks for internal editing!)
