The Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test is a nonparametric test that can be used to compare two independent samples when the assumptions for a t-test are invalid.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 2

The Wilcoxon rank sum test is a nonparametric test that measures the degree of association between two variables for which only rank-order data are available.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 3

To be valid, the chi-square test requires that all expected frequencies equal:
 a. 30 or more
  b. 30 or less
  c. 30 precisely
  d. both 30 or more and 30 or less
  e. none of these

Q. 4

The chi-square technique has numerous applications, including:
 a. testing the alleged independence of two qualitative variables
  b. making inferences about the relative sizes of more than two population proportions
  c. conducting a goodness-of-fit-test to determine whether data are consistent with data drawn from a particular probability distribution
  d. all of these
  e. none of these

Q. 5

The total degrees of freedom for an r x c (fixed-column) contingency table are rc + 1.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Q. 6

If there are more than two row categories in a contingency table with fixed c column totals, then the test of independence is equivalent to a test of the equality of c sets of multinomial proportions.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false
