Those that make assumptions about the parameters of the population distribution from which the
sample is drawn
Parametric tests can provide trustworthy results with distributions that are skewed and nonnormal
Non-parametric tests are "distribution-free" and, as such, can be used for non-Normal variables
The t-statistic rests on the underlying assumption that there is the normal distribution of variable and
the mean in known or assumed to be known.
Valid for both non-Normally distributed data and Normally distributed data
With this test, you also estimate the population median and compare it to a reference/target value.
Use this test instead of a one-way ANOVA to find out if two or more medians are different.
Select one: a. Kruskal- Wallis test
Descriptive statistics are very important because if we simply presented our raw data it would be hard
to visualize what the data was showing, especially if there was a lot of it.
Non Parametric tests can provide trustworthy results when the groups have different amounts of
variability
The parametric test is the hypothesis test which provides generalizations for making statements about
the mean of the parent population
The intent is to determine whether there is enough evidence to "reject" a conjecture or hypothesis
about the process. The conjecture is called the ______________________
Measures of spread are ways of summarizing a group of data by describing how spread out the scores
are
Measures of central tendency are ways of describing the central position of a frequency distribution for
a group of data.
It is the term given to the analysis of data that helps describe, show or summarize data in a meaningful
way such that, for example, patterns might emerge from the data.
Use this test to compare differences between two independent groups when dependent variables are
either ordinal or continuous.
Descriptive statistics therefore enables us to present the data in a more meaningful way, which allows
simpler interpretation of the data
It arise out of the fact that sampling naturally incurs sampling error and thus a sample is not expected to
perfectly represent the population
Select one: b. Inferential Statistics
The parametric test is the hypothesis test which provides generalizations for making statements about
the ____________________ of the parent population.
Analysis should reflect the design, and so a matched design should be followed by a matched analysis.
Use this test instead of the sign test when you have two independent samples.
Use when you want to find a correlation between two sets of data.
This test is used to test for differences between groups with ordinal dependent variables
If you have parametric data, you can run a Wilcoxon rank-sum test to compare means
If your data isn’t normally distributed, you can’t run the Kruskal-Wallis test., but you can run the
nonparametric alternative–the ANOVA
1: Use this test to estimate the median of a population and compare it to a reference value or target
value
A population can be small or large, as long as it includes all the data you are interested in.
Select one: True
Select one: c. 2
What other solution can you do to compute for the average of the scores?
Select one: b. 6
Select one: c. 3
Select one: b. 5
Display the relationship between two quantitative or numeric variables by plotting one variable against
the value of another variable
A low standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a wider range of values.
In statistics and probability, quartiles are values that divide your data into quarters provided data is
sorted in an ascending order.
Measures of central location include the range, quartiles and the interquartile range, variance and
standard deviation
It is defined as "the statistical measure that identifies a single value as representative of an entire
distribution."
The _______, ___________ and ____________ are the three commonly used measures of central
tendency
It gives an indication of how close an individual observation clusters about the mean value
A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be close to the mean of the data set.
We use inferential statistics to make judgments of the probability that an observed difference between
groups is a dependable one or one that might have happened by chance in this study
With descriptive statistics you are simply ________________ what is or what the data shows
Descriptive Statistics simply summaries about the sample and the measures
There are four major characteristics of a single variable that we tend to look at
Every time you try to describe a large set of observations with a single indicator you run the risk of
distorting the original data or losing important detail.
Display networks of relationships among variables, enabling researchers to identify the nature of
relationships that would otherwise be too complex to conceptualize
Display the relationship between two quantitative or numeric variables by plotting one variable against
the value of another variable
