In each case, assume that you opted to use the non-parametric equivalent rather than the parametric test. Using the data files from earlier activities, complete the following tests and paste your results into the assignment Word document:
- Activity 6A: non-parametric version of the dependent t test
- Activity 6B: non-parametric version of the independent t test
- Activity 6C: non-parametric version of the single factor ANOVA
