2. Measures of central tendency
• Central tendency can be measured in three
ways – the mean, median or mode.
✓ Mode – Nominal scale (e.g., Gender)
✓ Median – Ordinal scale (e.g., Income level)
✓ Mean – Interval/Ratio scale (e.g., age)

3. Measures of spread
• Different ways of summarising a data set by
describing how spread out the scores are from
the mean.
• E.g., range, deviation, variance, standard
deviation
✓ Variance – The average of the squared
differences from the mean.
✓ Standard deviation – The square root of the
variance.

Chi-square (χ2) test
o What is a Chi-square (χ2) test?
• A hypothesis test that determines whether there
is an association between categorical (i.e.,
nominal or ordinal) variables.
✓ E.g., Association between smoking behaviour and
voting for different parties.

• The test utilises a contingency table (known as


a cross-tabulation or crosstab) which classifies
data according to two categorical variables.
Chi-square (χ2) test
o When to use a Chi-square (χ2) test?
• At least two categorical variables.
• Two or more groups for each variable.
• Independence of observations (e.g., pre-
test/post-test observations)
• Relatively large sample size – At least more
than 10 in every cell.
Chi-square (χ2) test
• Is there an association between the outcome of
the game and the day it was played?
