Instructions for Q. Nos. 46 to 50. Read the following passage and answer the five questions that follow:
Non-parametric analysis is an important area in the field of psychological research. The emphasis on the assumption of normal distribution is comparatively less when group/sample sizes are large due to some implications of central limit theorem. Nevertheless, for smaller group sizes relatively distribution free nonparametric alternatives to parametric methods are developed. Thus there are non-parametric alternatives to student’s t test, one-way ANOVA etc. When assumptions are reasonably met, parametric tests are more powerful. Certain types of tests, such as chi-square test, use frequency data to evaluate the differences between obtained and expected frequencies. Some associations/correlation measures have been developed using chi-square distribution. Statisticians like Kolmogorov and Smirnov developed tests which involve entire frequency distribution/s. Psychologists have profitably used these techniques in their researcheswww.netugc.com
46. Which one of the following test is closest to independent samples t test from power-consideration point of view?
