A data set contains ordinal data, a total sample size
of 5, and the pretest and post test results of each participant.
The researcher uses which of the following tests to calculate the
final statistics?
a. Independent t test
b. Mann Whitney U test
c. Paired t test
d. Wilcox on matched pairs test
d. Wilcox on matched pairs test
Explanation:
For the related samples, we use either paired t test or Wilcoxon sign rank test. We cannot use independent t test, because samples are not independent and scale of data is not ratio. For the given data, it is explained that data set contains ordinal data, so we cannot use the parametric test for related samples, that is, we cannot use paired t test. So, corresponding non-parametric test for related samples is Wilcox on matched pairs test
