Task 4 Flashcards
(6 cards)
1
Q
Advantages of chi-squared:
A
- used to compare observed results with expected results
-Expected results are based off null hypothesis - determines if the difference between observed I expected date is due to a relationship between variables.
2
Q
Further chi-squared knowledge:
A
- Non-parametric test= evaluate distribution of data over whole populations.
-betterto use den distribution is not entirely ‘normal’
3
Q
Bell curve:
A
Mean = mode = median → it produces an even “bell curve”.
4
Q
Skewed distribution
A
These results do not follow the mean=mode=median
5
Q
Why was a non-parametric test used?
A
- better to use when distribution is not entirely “normal”
- Bette to use when you have a smaller sample size.
- non - parametric tests are not significally affected by outliers
= they are used to evaluate distribution of data over whole populations.
6
Q
Any type 1 or type 2 errors in my work?
A
Yes = I rejected my null hypothesis when it should have been accepted due to the expected value being higher/ lows than the critical value.
