If you have two treatments that are independent samples and you assume a normal distribution of the data, which test(s) would be appropriate to use? Select all that apply. Mann-Whitney

U-test Welch's

t-test Two-sample

t-test Sign test

Paired t-test

None of the above

Mann-Whitney U-test

Welch's t-test

Two-sample t-test

Sign test

Paired t-test

None of the above

Explanation / Answer

You cannot apply t test if distribution is not normal

So

t-test Two-sample

t-test Sign test

Paired t-test

are ruled out.and

Welchs t test is designed for unequal variances ,but the assumption of normality is maintained

So final answer is

Mann-Whitney U-test is a non parametric test that assumes that the data is not normally distributed

To anlyse the difference in medians of the two datasets we use Mann-Whitney U-test.

used for ordinal data

Mann-Whitney U-test is the answer
