Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1CR
a.
To determine
Give three advantages of nonparametric tests.
a.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Advantages of nonparametric tests:
- It is used when the
sample size is small. - It is used for ordinal data.
- Nonparametric tests do not assume normality.
b.
To determine
Give two drawbacks in the data that might force to use a nonparametric test.
b.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Two drawbacks in the data that might force to use a nonparametric test:
- Small sample size.
- When the sample does not follow normality.
c.
To determine
State the reason why significance in a nonparametric test is convincing.
c.
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Significance in a nonparametric test is convincing because it makes fewer assumptions about the population, when the sample does not follow normality.

What is the difference between parametric and nonparametric tests in statistics? When should you use each type of test, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach? Provide an example to illustrate the concept.
The first problem we confront in analyzing data is determining the appropriate statistical test. Under what circumstances is a t statistic used instead of a z-score in a hypothesis test? Give an example of both a t statistic and z-score.

- What statistical test is most appropriate if you want to examine whether there is a difference in graduation rates (percentages) among home schooling, public schools, and private schools where you live? Assume the data does NOT meet the assumptions for a parametric testarrow_forwardThe principal of an elementary school wanted to see if there are differences in the abilities of first, second, and third graders to render a three-dimensional image into a two- dimensional drawing (as judged by trained coders). All students were attending the same school, and data were collected during the same semester. What test I use? -Independent samples t test -ANOVA -Paired samples t test -Correlationarrow_forwardParametric tests (such as t-tests or ANOVAs) differ from nonparametric tests (such as chi-square) primarily in terms of the assumptions they require and the data they use.

- Describe a study in which you can use both nonparametric and parametric statistics. A researcher has participants expecting to receive either painful or mild electrical shocks during a study wait in a quarter-full waiting room with other participants. He then measures whether they choose to sit next to other participants or if they sit far away on their own. What is the best test to run for this study and why?arrow_forwardHelp please! (b) Despite the results being statistically significant, the authors stated in their article about the first study: "The field study did not support an examination of why more creative store windows led consumers to enter the stores. … The use of actual retailers' real store windows meant that the level of creativity was not the only variable that differed among the retailers and their windows." How does the second study address some of those drawbacks? Does either study suffer from a lack of realism? Choose the best explanation. A) The drawbacks in the first study were that it was an observational study and that it did not control for confounding variables (such as variations in merchandise and potential customers). The second study addresses these drawbacks by using the same retailer and the same merchandise, and by only changing the creativity of the window display. Neither study suffers from a lack of realism, since statistically significant results were…arrow_forwardWhat does a z-score of 3 for a data value x represent?

- Scenario: If 20 participants completed an attention task twice — once after consuming a sugar pill and once after consuming a pill that contained 25 mg nicotine, which test would be most appropriate? Assume data meets all assumptions for a parametric test, and that participant exposure to the sugar pill vs. nicotine pill were counterbalanced. Question: What is the research / alternate hypothesis for this scenario? Nicotine does not affect attention. Nicotine affects attention. Anxiety does not affect attention.
