Let's talk that scenario and work with some fictional data from it: Let's imagine there was a question on the survey that asks "On average, how many times a day do you worry about COVID-19, either for yourself, family, or community? Below is some data for 10 respondents. In the space below,describe all of the steps you would use to calculate the appropriate type of t-test (independent or paired samples), given we want to compare Trump voters to Clinton voters. For this question, just list the steps - do not do any calculations. That will be in the next question. Your list will have at least 6 steps. Just get as far as the t-statistic; no need to describe hypothesis testing steps in this problem.
Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of two parameters.
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency or measure of central tendency is a central or typical value for a probability distribution.
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow comparison between two scores that belong to different normal distributions.
