A high school principal claimed that academic talent was evenly distributed among the social strata at his high school. To test this, he classified the students as jocks, cheerleaders, techies, stoners, band geeks, and so on and compared class rank among the different groups. What statistical test should he use?

In this series of questions, there are no headings that tell which flowchart to use. Plus, some gaps occur in the flowchart. For example, if the scenario has two dependent samples with an ordinal-level dependent variable, there is no such test in the flowchart. Tests exist for such situations; they just weren’t covered in this book. So, if a scenario in this series calls for a “missing” test, just write, “No such test in book” as your answer.
