    This document summarizes four statistical tests - the t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman Rank Correlation test, and Chi-squared test. For each test, it provides information on when the test is used, what the null hypothesis is, and what criteria is used to reject the null hypothesis. The tests can be used to compare populations, look for correlations between variables, and determine if observed data differs from what is expected.

    Summary for Statistical Tests


    Test
    (Students) t-test

    Mann-Whitney U
    test

    Spearman Rank
    Correlation test

    Chi-squared (2)
    test

    When used
    Comparing two
    populations with
    normally-distributed
    data
    Comparing two
    populations with
    skewed distribution
    Looking for a
    correlation between
    two variables (also
    whether it is positive
    or negative and how
    strong)
    Does an observed
    set of data differ from
    what we might
    expect from the null
    hypothesis?

    Null Hypothesis
    There is no significant
    difference between the
    (means of the) two
    populations
    There is no significant
    difference between the
    (medians of the) two
    populations
    There is no correlation
    between the two variables

    There is no significant
    difference between the
    observed and expected
    frequencies

    Reject null hypothesis if


    calculated t value is greater than
    or equal to critical t value

    smallest U value is less than or


    equal to the critical U value

    rs is greater than or equal to the


    critical value
    - if rs is positive = positive
    correlation
    - if rs is negative = negative
    correlation
    calculated 2 value is greater than
    the critical value
