    The document reviews techniques for identifying the appropriate statistical test to use based on the problem objective and data type. It presents a flowchart that guides the user through this process. The flowchart starts with identifying whether the problem involves describing a single population or comparing two populations, then further specifies the test based on whether the data is interval or nominal and what descriptive measurement is of interest. Examples are provided of identifying tests and estimators for specific cases, such as identifying the z-test and interval estimator of a proportion for nominal data involving a single population.

    Identifying the Correct Technique…
    The two most important factors in determining the correct
    statistical technique to use are:
     the problem objective,
    (i.e. describe one pop’n or compare two populations)
     and the data type.
    (i.e. interval data or nominal data)

    Once these factors are determined, our analysis extends to


    other factors (e.g. type of descriptive measure [central
    location? variability?], etc.)

    The flowchart in your textbook (Figure A13.1) describes the
    logical process that allows us to identify the appropriate
    method to use for the problem.
