with these calculations, see the Recommended
Resources for Week One. Measurement issues. Data,
even numerically code variables, can be one of 4
levels nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio. It
is important to identify which level a variable
is, as this impacts the kind of analysis we can
do with the data. For example, descriptive
statistics such as means can only be done on
interval or ratio level data.

last week and Lecture Seven discuss issues around
using a single test versus multiple uses of the
same tests to answer questions about mean
equality between groups. This suggests that we

statistical tests. Why cant we just master a
single statistical testsuch as the t-testand
