Question
Which of these is the criteria for a Mann Whitney test?
Answer
  • Nominal data & repeated measures
  • Ordinal/interval data & repeated measures/matched pairs
  • Nominal data & independent measures
  • Independent measures & ordinal/interval data

Question 4

Question
For a Mann Whitney test... If the calculated/observed value is equal to or [blank_start]less than[blank_end] critical value then the difference between the 2 sets of scores is significant – the null hypothesis is [blank_start]rejected[blank_end] and the alternate hypothesis [blank_start]accepted[blank_end].
Answer
  • rejected
  • accepted
  • less than

Question 5

Question
For the Mann Whitney test, N1 & N2 are the number of scores in the smaller and larger group respectively
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 6

Question
The Wilcoxon test produces a calculated value of [blank_start]T[blank_end]
Answer
  • T

Question 7

Question
With the Wilcoxon test, N = The number of participants. This includes those who had the same scores - True or false?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 8

Question
The criteria for Wilcoxon is [blank_start]ordinal[blank_end]/[blank_start]interval data[blank_end] and [blank_start]repeated measures[blank_end]/[blank_start]matched pairs[blank_end].
Answer
  • ordinal
  • interval data
  • repeated measures
  • matched pairs

Question 9

Question
For the Wilcoxon test: If the calculated/observed value is equal to or [blank_start]less than[blank_end] critical value then the difference between the 2 sets of scores is [blank_start]significant[blank_end] – the [blank_start]null hypothesis[blank_end] is rejected and the [blank_start]alternate hypothesis[blank_end] accepted.
Answer
  • less than

  • T

Question 12

Question
The criteria for a Chi squared test is the use of [blank_start]nominal[blank_end] data and [blank_start]independent measures[blank_end]
Answer
  • interval
  • nominal
  • ordinal
  • repeated measures
  • matched pairs
  • independent measures

Question 13

Question
For the Chi squared test, the degree of freedom (df) is calculated using: (No. of rows in table - 1) x (No. of columns - 1) True or False?
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 14

Question
For a Chi squared test: - If calculated value is equal or [blank_start]higher than[blank_end] the critical value, then the association is significant – so null hypothesis is rejected and the alternate hypothesis accepted.
Answer
  • lower than
  • higher than

Question 15

Answer
  • interval
  • nominal
  • ordinal
  • repeated measures
  • independent measures
  • matched pairs

Question 18

Question
For a Sign test, if the calculated value is equal to or [blank_start]less[blank_end] than the critical value then the difference between the 2 sets of scores is significant - the null hypothesis is [blank_start]rejected[blank_end] and the alternate hypothesis [blank_start]accepted[blank_end].
Answer
  • less
  • rejected
  • accepted

Question 19
