, 1. Recapitulation
How to choose the correct statistical test:




The independent variable is the cause. Its value is independent of other variables in your study.
The dependent variable is the effect. Its value depends on changes in the independent variable.

Qualitative research is expressed in words. It is used to understand concepts, thoughts or
experiences. This type of research enables you to gather in-depth insights on topics that are not well
understood.

Nominal data is labelled into mutually exclusive categories within a variable. These
categories cannot be ordered in a meaningful way. Like way of transport: bus, train, bike, car.

Ordinal data is classified into categories within a variable that have a natural rank order.
However, the distances between the categories are uneven or unknown. For example, the
variable “frequency of physical exercise” can be categorized into the following:

1. Never 2. Rarely 3. Sometimes 4. Often 5. Always


Quantitative research is expressed in numbers and graphs. It is used to test or confirm theories and
assumptions. This type of research can be used to establish generalizable facts about a topic.

Discrete variables represent counts (e.g. the number of objects you count in a variable).

Continuous variables represent measurable amounts (e.g. water volume or weight)
