Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F)?
a. In the Fisher’s exact test we test the following
hypotheses:
H0: the proportions of type A and type B discordant pairs are the
same (pA=pB).
H1: the proportions of type A and type B discordant pairs are not
the same (pA≠pB).
b. Using the McNemar’s test to analyze matched-pair data (paired
samples) is a correct decision.
c. The Fisher’s exact test is based on a 2x2 contingency
table.
d. A concordant pair in the McNemar’s test is a matched pair in which both members have different outcomes.
a.
In the Fisher’s exact test we test the following
hypotheses:
H0: the proportions of type A and type B discordant pairs are the
same.
H1: the proportions of type A and type B discordant pairs are not
the same.
Answer: False.
The null hypothesis is Treatments do not affect outcomes-- that the two are independent.
Alt. Hypo. :- Treatments affect outcomes-- that the two are dependent.
b. Using the McNemar’s test to analyze matched-pair data is a correct decision.
Answer: TRUE
It is based on mathced pair data.
c. The Fisher’s exact test is based on a 2x2 contingency table.
Answer: TRUE
d. A concordant pair in the McNemar’s test is a matched pair in which both members have different outcomes.
Answer:- False.
