Testing for Normality and Equal Variances - University of New
The null hypothesis (as usual) states that there is no difference between our data and the generated normal data so that we would reject the null hypothesis as the p value is less than any stated alpha level we might want to choose; the data is highly non-normal and we should not use parametric statistics on the raw data of excavated units

How to select a null hypothesis?
- The upper tailed test will check if one of the samples is significantly higher than the other. If the sample has a lower value, the null hypothesis will be selected and no difference will be shown. The exact opposite of this is the lower tailed test where null hypothesis will be rejected only if one sample is markedly lower than the other.
What should the null hypothesis be?
- In a scientific experiment, the null hypothesis is the proposition that there is no effect or no relationship between phenomena or populations. If the null hypothesis is true, any observed difference in phenomena or populations would be due to sampling error (random chance) or experimental error.
What is the meaning of null hypothesis?
- A null hypothesis states there is no statistical significance between the two variables tested. It is designated as H-naught. It is usually the hypothesis a researcher or experimenter will try to disprove or discredit.
Testing for Normality
For each mean and standard deviation combination a theoretical normal distribution can be determined. This distribution is based on the proportions shown below. This theoretical normal distribution can then be compared to the actual distribution of the data. Are the actual data statistically different than the computed normal curve?Theoretical normal

There are several methods of assessing whether data are normally distributed or not. They fall into two broad categories: graphicaland statistical. The some common techniques are:Graphical
Q-Q probability plots
Cumulative frequency (P-P) plots
Statistical
W/S test
Jarque-Beratest
Shapiro-Wilks test
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test
D'Agostinotest
Q-Q plots display the observed values against normally distributed data (represented by the line).Normally distributed data fall along the line.
Graphical methods are typically not very useful when the sample size is small. This is a histogram of the last example. These data do not 'look' normal, but they are not statistically different than normal.Tests of Normality

Statistical tests for normality are more precise since actual probabilities are calculated. Tests for normality calculate the probability that the sample was drawn from a normal population.The hypotheses used are:
Ho: The sample data are not significantly different than a normal population Ha: The sample data are significantly different than a normal population.When testing for normality:
•Probabilities > 0.05 indicate that the data are normal. •Probabilities < 0.05 indicate that the data are NOT normal.Non-Normally Distributed Data

Different normality tests produce different probabilities. This is due to where in the distribution (central, tails) or what moment (skewness, kurtosis) they are examining.W/S or studentizedrange (q):

Data have to be very non-normal to reject Ho. •These tests can outperform other tests when using discrete or grouped data.When is non-normality a problem?
•Normality can be a problem when the sample size is small (< 50). •Highly skewed data create problems. •Highly leptokurtic data are problematic, but not as much as skewed data. •Normality becomes a serious concern when there is "activity" in the tails of the data set. •Outliers are a problem. •"Clumps" of data in the tails are worse.SPSS Normality Tests

1.Since it IS a test, state a null and alternate hypothesis.
2.If you perform a normality test, do not ignore the results.
3.If the data are not normal, use non-parametric tests.
4.If the data are normal, use parametric tests.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:
5.If you have groups of data, you MUST test each group for
normality. df= n Obs 15 7 6 6 5 5 5 4 43Ho: The suspected outlier is not different than the sample distribution.

These tests have several requirements:
1)The data are from a normal distribution
2)There are not multiple outliers (3+),
3)The data are sorted with the suspected outlier first.
If 2 observations are suspected as being outliers and both lie on the same side of the mean, this test can be performed again after removing the first outlier from the data set. Caution must be used when removing outliers. Only remove outliers if you suspect the value was caused by an error of some sort, or if you have evidence that the value truly belongs to a different population. If you have a small sample size, extreme caution should be used when removing any data.quotesdbs_dbs19.pdfusesText_25[PDF] number 111 meaning spiritual
