a. What are the lessons you learned relative ANOVA and Nonparametric tests?


Monitor - the situation.
Measure - provide measurements, accumulate data.
Improve - provide solutions for improvement.

The ANOVA was used for multiple studies and the population is assumed to be a normal distribution. Also, it can be used to test for significant differences between means. On the other hand, the nonparametric test makes no assumption about the type of distribution. In the workplace, we can see the benefit of the ANOVA by comparing previous years and current budget within my unit. I'll be able to see the difference of the annual budget and actual expenses for each year. The variances will fluctuate but if there's a significant increase or decrease an evaluation will be required. This will ...
