Chl-Square

The purpose of this discussion is to allow you to consider how various non-parametric tests are used and how they compare to other tests with similar variables.

To do this, you will need to identify the appropriate application of course-specified statistical tests, examine assumptions and limitations of course-specified statistical tests, and communicate in writing critiques of statistical tests.

• Describe the chi-square goodness-of-fit test.

• Provide a detailed explanation of what this test measures, and how it is similar to and different from the independent t-test and the chi-square test of independence.

• How do you know when to use one analysis over the other? Provide a real-world example.

Guided Response: Review your classmates' posts and respond to at least three of them. Compare the real-world examples identified by two of your classmates with the one you selected and respond substantively. Do you agree or disagree with their analyses of when to use one test over the other?
