How To Know Which Statistical Test To Use For Hypothesis Testing

This document discusses different statistical tests for hypothesis testing: 1. Matched/paired sample t-test is used when samples are measured twice, such as a pre-post test, to determine if there was a change. 2. Regression test analyzes the correlation between two quantitative variables measured simultaneously, such as age and GPA. 3. Chi-square test determines if there is a relationship between two qualitative variables, such as gender and hair color. 4. One-way ANOVA tests if samples from different treatment groups have statistically different means, such as control and multiple treatment groups.

How to Know Which Statistical Test to Use for Hypothesis Testing Matched / Paired Sample Test

 Samples are the same group of people but measured


1 – Sample Z – Test for Mean twice
1 – Sample T – Test for Mean  Average before and average after
 Was there a change in this experiment
Determine the difference of two samples  The samples are not independent
Z – test  Samples are dependent of each other
 Terrible  Pre and Post-test in the classroom
 Make math easier but no ever uses Z tests
 Make assumptions that should never be made in the Regression Test
first place  Two quantitative variables
 Is there any correlation of these two variables?
T –test  Measure both X and Y simultaneously
 Better  Age and GPA
 Determine whether your sample average is
statistically significant than what everyone thinks the Chi – Square Test
average is  Determines the relationship of two qualitative
variables
1 – Sample Z – Test for Proportion Blonde Not blonde
1 – Sample T – Test for Proportion Male 100 2
Female 3 250
 Proportion is meant for qualitative variables  Allows to determine whether two qualitative
 Are you a republican variables are different from each other
 Are you not a republican
 Qualitative question 1 – Way ANOVA Test
 Gathering a huge sample can’t compute average  2 – Sample Independent Test (2 samples are not the
 Can compute proportion same that control and treatment group)
 70% of the sample was not republican
 In ANOVA, N samples
 Are the two proportions different from each other  Determines which of the different treatment is going
 Is your proportion of your sample different from what to affect the results that quantitative in nature
everyone believes the proportion is  It’s basically the concept of the two sample
independent t – test but of a treatment group in a
Z – Test control group we have control group, treatment
 Sloppy group 1, treatment group 2, and treatment group 3
 We want know are those groups statistically related
2 – Sample Independent Test for Mean from each
 Useful in Experiment
 Control group and treatment group
 2 samples
 Are the results of these 2 samples statistically
significant
 Measure the mean 1 and mean 2
 Are the 2 averages different from each other

2 – Sample Independent Test for Proportions


 Qualitative
 Are you sad?
 Two proportions are statistically significant
 Proportions are different
