i           t test

ii          t test for dependent samples (matched pair)

iii         z test 

iv         z test for dependent samples (matched pair)

v          Test for correlation

vi         Goodness of fit test

vii        Test for association  (homogeneous data sets)

 

2)

A study of 10 different weight loss programs involved 500 subjects. Each of the 10 programs had 50 subjects. The subjects were followed for 12 months.  Weight change for each subject was recorded.  The researcher wants to test the claim that all ten programs are equally effective in weight loss.

i           t test

ii          t test for dependent samples (matched pair)

iii         ANOVA

iv         Confidence interval evaluation

v          Goodness of fit test

vi         Test for association (Homogeneous data sets)
