Question: A unit coordinator knows that few students mix up the interpretation of p value of an assumption test and p value of a 'hypothesis test'
- A unit coordinator knows that few students mix up the interpretation of p value of an assumption test and p value of a 'hypothesis test' (a test used to test the study hypothesis e.g. t tests, ANOVA....). P value from an assumption test can only tell us if the assumption is met or violated whereas the p value of the hypothesis test determines whether we will retain or reject null and therefore, it will determine our overall conclusion about the study. Students studying second year statistics unit responded to a statement 'P value scares me'with possible response options as 'Always, Most of the times, Sometimes, Rarely and Never'. If the unit coordinator wants to explore whether response rankings are significantly different between Internal and Fully Online students, which test should be selected from the options below?

| 2. A survey done previously on pet preferences was repeated to make it more inclusive this time. Participants were asked if they considered themselves either a 'cat person', or a 'dog person' or a 'gold fish person' (surprisingly no one had pet preference other than these three). According to the results majority of females considered themselves to be a 'gold fish person', males were more likely to be a 'cat person' and respondents of 'other' gender were more likely to be a 'dog person'. To explore if pet preference was associated with gender, which one of the following tests will be suitable? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
