Hello, I am doing a study with only n=52. I would like to compare difference in mean/median of my datas (y=categorical, x=categorical). I would like to seek for opinion on the suitable statistical test for my data sets.Thank you.
Independent t test (if all assumptions are met) or Mann-Whitney test (if all assumptions are not met).
The assumptions independent t test are: (a) random sampling, (b) observations are independent, (c) in each group, data are normally distributed (see histogram) or sample size (of each group) is >= 30, (d) population variances are the same between the 2 groups (p>0.05 in Levene test).
