Which Test Should I Use?

First consider two distinctions … Sample vs. proportion • First consider two distinctions … Sample vs. proportion • “sample” compares averages (average and standard deviation given) • “proportion” compares percents

One vs. two •. “One” compares actual. with expected • One vs. two • “One” compares actual with expected • “Two” compares two separate groups

Giveaways—what to look for: (One-sample) t-test •. One SMALL sample • Giveaways—what to look for: (One-sample) t-test • One SMALL sample • Problem asks about average

(One-sample) z-test •. One BIG sample •. σ is given • (One-sample) z-test • One BIG sample • σ is given • “According to the U.S. Census…” • Problem asks about average

2-Sample t-test • Two samples • Is one average bigger than the other? • 2 averages and 2 S.D.’s are given

One-proportion z-test Is a percent larger or smaller than expected? Look for “%” or “out of”

Two-proportion z-test Is one percent larger than another percent? Two groups (men/women, etc.) Look for “%” or “out of”

Categorical X2 Test (X2-GOF) More than 2 categories Count up how many in each

Matrix X2 Test Information is (or can be) in a table Counting up number in each place in the table  

Correlation r-Test Words like “increase” and “decrease” or “goes up” / “goes down” As one thing happens, …

Sign Test Are there more in one group than in another? Just counting—doesn’t have averages and standard deviations.

Runs Test  Is it random?
