Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D, G
The t-test and ANOVA are both parametric analyses; as such, they both assume a normal distribution and cannot be used when the dependent variable is ordinal. Both are used to compare groups, and both can actually be used when there are two groups, although for more than one only the ANOVA is used. If used with three or more categories, the ANOVA requires secondary post hoc analysis if its results are statistically significant. They use the t-test and F-test, respectively, and each has a separate table.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, E
The obtained result from the calculation of the statistic is compared with the appropriate table, at the level of significance set by the researcher at the outset of the study. If that is p <.05, it is essential that the correct value be retrieved from the table, for comparison. Researchers often set the level of significance at .05. By that criterion, the two statistically significant values above are p <.01 and p = .049.
