Statistical test Flashcards
To know which statisttical test which 3 questions you must answer?
1 - What type of data you will collect?
2 - How many samples you have?
3 - What purpose you wanted to test?
1 - What type of data you will collect?
- Nominal/ Cateorical/ Qualitative/ Nonparametric (%)
- Interval ratio / Quantitative /Parametric- (mean)
e.g. weight , all continous variable are ratio except temperature which is an interval
2 - How many samples you have?
- One
- One sample but 2 measures
- Two
- Three
3 - What purpose you wanted to test?
- Proportion
- Mean
- Relationship
