Part II ANSWER
1. Compares the mean of 2 independent group in order to determine whether there is statistical
evidence that associated population means are significant difference. Example: pre and post test
given to different groups.
2. Comparing the significant difference of more that ∑ mean unrelated independent groups. Example:
Is there significant difference among the profile of nurses and the years of experience in determining
their performance in the hospital?
3. Straight line relationship between 2 variables Example: sex vs age in nurses.
4. Used to predict the value of dependent variable based on the --- value of 2 or more independent
variable Example: predictors of performance
5. – likely it is that an observed distribution is due to chance
6. To test two population means are different when the variance are known and sample size is big
7. Can be used to assess raters.
