The null hypothesis is a statement saying that there is no significant difference between the population parameter and the value that is being claimed. It is the hypothesis to be tested.
The alternative
hypothesis is a statement saying that there is a significant difference between the population parameter and the value that is being claimed. True once the null hypothesis is rejected.
P-value is the lowestlevel of significance at which the observed value of the test statistic is significant.
Rejection Rule: reject the null hypothesis when the significant value (p-value) is less than the level of significance (alpha).
When H0 is true, but it was rejected, then, it is called type 1 error. When H0 is true and did not reject, then, it is a correct decision.
When H0 is false and it was rejected, then, the decision is correct. When H0 is false but did not reject, then, it is called a type 2 error
if the study is examining differences between groups of one or more variables and the participants being tested is the same, then, it is a Paired Sample T-test.
If the study is comparing two independent samples on one variable, then, it is an Independent Samples t-Test.
A One Way ANOVA compares means from three or more independent groups to determine if they are significantly different from each other.
if the study is examining differences between groups of one or more variables and the participants are being tested once having two groups, then it is Independent Samplte T-Test and ANOVA
PAIRED SAMPLE T-TEST
if the dependent variable is numerical and the normality is satisfied, then, proceed to use Paired Sample T-Test.
PAIRED SAMPLE T-TEST
If the dependent variable is numerical but is non-normal, use Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test
PAIRED SAMPLE T-TEST
If the dependent variable is ordinal use Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test
Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is the non-parametric alternative test for the Paired Sample T-test.
Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test is used to compare two sets of variables that are in an ordinal level of measurement or that are numeric are from paired independently.
