Z, T, or Chi-Square Test Study
Background
During this week you will identify a research question created in Week 1 that would be best answered by any of the following statistical tests (see attached file title: MY assignment ): z test, t test for single sample, independent samples t test, repeated measures t test, or Chi-Square test. This discussion will help you work towards your “Week 3 Assignment 2.” If there are no research questions that fit any of these types of statistical analyses, decide on a new question before moving forward with the assignment.
Discussion Assignment Requirements
Initial Posting – In your initial posting for this assignment, include the following:
· Identify an appropriate research question that would require the use of a z-, t-, or Chi-Square test to answer. Pick the question from the list created in Week 1 or identify a new question if there are no appropriate ones from Week 1.
· Describe why this question is appropriate for the selected statistical test.
· Identify the variables in this study and each of their attributes: discrete or continuous, quantitative or categorical, scale of measurement (nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio), and independent or dependent.
· Explain how the variables do or do not fit the qualifications for the selected statistical test.
· Provide a written explanation for the null and alternative hypotheses.
· Describe the types of errors that could occur.
Replies – Though you may respond to your peers multiple times during the week to provide support or feedback, students are required to respond to at least two of their classmates’ postings by Day 3.
