Parametric Test
The Vice president of sales has developed two new training programs for increasing sales effectiveness. There are 20 new
hires in the organization. He has randomly chose 10 people for each training program. After one year he decides to see
the results.

First of all, we will check for the normality

Tests of Normality
Kolmogorov-Smirnova Shapiro-Wilk
Group Statistic df Sig. Statistic df Sig.
Score Group A .208 10 .200* .870 10 .101
Group B .128 10 .200* .981 10 .973
*. This is a lower bound of the true significance.
a. Lilliefors Significance Correction

As the significance value, P is greater than 0.05. we will go for a parametric test.

Alternative hypothesis
There is a significant difference between the sales of the two groups.

Null hypothesis
There is no difference between the sales of the two groups.

Group N Mean Std. Deviation Std. Error Mean
Sales Group A 10 97.6000 6.02218 1.90438
Group B 10 123.0000 6.11010 1.93218
As the P value is less than 0.05. So, the Alternative hypothesis is accepted.

Non-Parametric Test
A principal wants to compare the student performance for the year in two parts. He wants to compare the performance of the first half and
second half of the year. He recorded the performance in GPA and CGPA from 20 students.

Check the normality first

Alternative hypothesis
There is a significant difference between the performance of the two groups.
Null hypothesis
There is no difference between the performance of the two groups.

As the P value is greater than 0.05. So, the Null hypothesis is accepted.
