    3. CAre less likely to accept the alternative hypothesis
    4. DAre more conservative
  2. 2A researcher measured leadership skills in police officers, doctors, and accountants. The data were skewed. What is the most appropriate test to analyse the data?

    3. CFriedman test
    4. DWilcoxon test
  3. 3The results of the test used to analyse the data described in Question 2 showed a significant result. How should the researcher carry out post-hoc tests?
    1. ACompare groups using the Mann Whitney test
    2. BCompare groups using the Wilcoxon test
    3. CCompare groups using a t-test

    3. CFriedman
    4. DMann-Whitney

    2. BUse a random number table to assign ranks to the tied values
    3. CThrow out the tied data

The data were not normally distributed. Which test would be appropriate to analyse this data?
    1. AMann-Whitney
    2. BWilcoxon
    3. CFriedman
    4. DKruskal-Wallis
  9. 9n a Kruskal-Wallis test, the _________ the value of H, the more likely you are to reject the null hypothesis
