Instructions for Q. Nos. 46 to 50. Read the following passage and answer the five questions that follow:





Non-parametric analysis is an important area in the field of psychological research. The emphasis on the assumption of normal distribution is comparatively less when group/sample sizes are large due to some implications of central limit theorem. Nevertheless, for smaller group sizes relatively distribution free nonparametric alternatives to parametric methods are developed. Thus there are non-parametric alternatives to student’s t test, one-way ANOVA etc. When assumptions are reasonably met, parametric tests are more powerful. Certain types of tests, such as chi-square test, use frequency data to evaluate the differences between obtained and expected frequencies. Some associations/correlation measures have been developed using chi-square distribution. Statisticians like Kolmogorov and Smirnov developed tests which involve entire frequency distribution/s. Psychologists have profitably used these techniques in their researches











46. Which one of the following test is closest to independent samples t test from power-consideration point of view?





(A) Mann-Whitney U test





(B) Signed rank test





(C) Chi-square test





(D) Kolmogorov-Smirnov test





Answer: (A)











47. What is the non-parametric alternative to one-way ANOVA?





(A) Friedman’s test





(B) Kruskall-Wallis H test





(C) Mann-Whitney U test





(D) Median test





Answer: (B)











48. If the obtained frequency and the expected frequency in a given cell of the contingency table is 17 and 10 respectively, what would be the contributions of this cell to total chi-square value?





(A) 0.70





(B) 4.90





(C) 7.00





(D) 18.90





Answer: (B)











49. Which of the following test can be used for evaluating whether the obtained distribution significantly departs from the normal distribution?





(A) Signed rank test





(B) K.S. one sample test





(C) Run test





(D) K.S. two sample test





Answer: (B)
