Q

The larger the F , the more variance you are explaining in your DV by
your IV, as compared to error (although, F is not a direct measure of
effect size).

you have a standard alpha of 0.05).

Q

What are the assumptions of Spearman correlation?

A

At least one variable needs to be continuous.
The other variable can be continuous or dichotomous.
The relationship between the two variables is monotonic.

Q

When do we run a Wilcoxon test?

A

When we want to compare two groups and out DV is non-parametric/not normally distributed. It’s a non-parametric version of a t-test.
