(e) The number of columns. - ANSWER- (a) One less than the number of categories. Which of the following three statements about p-values is not correct? - ANSWER- (b) The p-value can be interpreted as the probability of making a Type I Error in repeated sampling. If we wish to examine the relationship between total weekly household food spending and market spending for market visitors we should use what type of graph/chart?

Which of the following tests would be the most appropriate in this case? (a) A hypothesis test for the difference in two proportions (Ha: Pnon organic - Porganic > 0). (b) A hypothesis test for one proportion (Ha: Pnon organic > 0.5). (c) A chi square test of independence (Ha: Organic purchasing is independent of regular visiting). (d) A chi square goodness of fit test (Ha: Pnon organic > 0.5, Porganic < 0> 0.5).

When is ANOVA test best used for? - ANSWER- comparing means between two independent groups when can an independent sample t test be best used for? - ANSWERComparing means between two independent groups When can a dependent samples t test be best used for? - ANSWERcompare means of two related groups When is a Chi-square test best used for? - ANSWER- to determine if association between two categorical variables Which of the following statements is/are true when comparing the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test to the more commonly used parametric methods for testing differences in means? (a) An advantage of the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test is that the null can be rejected due to differences in the distribution other than just differences in the mean. (b) An advantage of the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test is that it requires no distributional assumptions. (c) A disadvantage of the Wilcoxon Rank Sum test is that there is generally a higher chance of
