I need to test if the difference between two results of option 'A' is significant.
Person 1 - option A = 165 (68%) option B = 79 (32%)
Person 2 - option A = 139 (60%) option B = 91 (40%)
I know it's simple, but I'm new to this. Chi-square? T-Test?
Thanks :)
Non parametric = Mann-Whitney U test, parametric = student's t test. You will need to decide which fits your study. Ginga xx
on first glance this looks to me like you'd use a chi sqaured but it kinda depends on what type of data this is. What are the numbers? it reads like it's the number of times they''ve chosen an option (A or B)but are they measurements of some kind?
do you just have two participants or is there other unshown data?
sorry lots of questions!
