-Statistical testing
- You will recall that a statistical test is used to determine whether a difference or an correlation found in a particular investigation is statistically significant - that is, more than could have occurred by chance. The outcome of this has implications for whether we accept or reject the null hypothesis -
- There are three factors used to decide this:
1. Whether a researcher is looking for a difference or correlation.
2. In the case of a difference, what experimental design is being used.
3. The level of measurement.
