Question:

To prepare for this Discussion:

? Consider how the chi-square test of association is a nonparametric procedure that requires different assumptions.

? Bring to mind a real-world situation or problem that would best be analyzed using this technique. You will not need SPSS to complete this Discussion question.

? For this situation or problem:

o Clearly describe the independent and dependent variables you would study.

o State the research question and statistical null and alternative hypotheses.

o Explain why this test is appropriate and why a parametric procedure, such as correlation or ANOVA, would not be appropriate.

o Identify the measure of effect size that would be used and explain what it would tell you.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 the real-world situation or problem you selected to address; the independent and dependent variables you would study; the research question; the statistical null and alternative hypotheses; an explanation of why this test is appropriate and why a parametric procedure, such as correlation or ANOVA, would not be appropriate; and the measure of effect size that would be used and an explanation of what it would tell you.
