Summary and Final Tasks
Summary
This lesson has covered two types of hypotheses tests to use when you have more than two samples or groups:
- Chi-square test: for samples/groups of a categorical variable
- ANOVA: for samples/groups of a quantitative variable
Thus, chi-square tests compare proportions across the groups, and ANOVA compares means, and the hypotheses for these tests are:
Hypothesis | Chi-Square Test | One-way ANOVA |
---|---|---|
Null | Defines proportions, , for all categories | All population means, , are equal for all categories |
Alternative | At least one is not as specified | At least one is not equal to the others |
