Place an “X” in front of those issues that only relate to selecting a specific statistical test. (Do not
put an “X” in front of items common to all tests or not applying to statistical tests.)
-The distribution (shape) of the population (e.g. normal, skewed, flat, etc.)
-The measurement scale/nature of the data being evaluated (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio)
-The size of the population (assuming it is much larger than any samples)
-The level of significance (_) you wish to place on the test results
-Whether you have matched/related or unmatched/unrelated samples
-The degrees of freedom (sample size) associated with your sample(s)
-The statement of the null and research hypotheses
-Whether the sample was stratified or not
Solution
X: The distribution (shape) of the population (e.g., normal, skewed, flat, etc.) X:
The measurement scale/nature of the data being evaluated (nominal, ordinal, interval or ratio) :
The size of the population (assuming it is much larger than any samples) X: The level of
significance (_) you wish to place on the test results : Whether you have matched/related or
unmatched/unrelated samples X: The degrees of freedom (sample size) associated with your
sample(s) X: The statement of the null and research hypotheses X: Whether the sample was
stratified or not.
