This is a test when the hypothesis being tested doesn't imply a direction for the relationship if there is one. So an increase in variable X could lead to either an increase or a decrease in valuable Y.

• One Tailed Test

• Two Tailed Test

• Parametric Test

• Non- parametric Test

Which of the following is a way of quantifying the relationship between 2 paired set of data?

• Confidence interval

• Chi-squared test

• Correlation

• Covariance

This statistical software is similar to GraphPad Prism, in which commands can be executed through both the GUI and scripted commands, making it accessible to novices as well as users looking to carry out more complex analyses.

• MatLab

• Minitab

• MS Excel

• R Foundation

This statistical test compares the mean values of groups of observations by splitting the total variance into its parts.
