__________ divide the variance in the dependent variable into variance caused by the independent variable and variance caused by everything else.
A) Parametric statistics
B) Non-parametric statistics
C) Bayesian statistics
D) Euclidian statistics

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parametric statistics involve the use of mathematical models to test hypotheses about the relationship between variables. One of the key assumptions of these models is that the variance in the dependent variable can be partitioned into variance caused by the independent variable and variance caused by other factors (e.g. error variance). Non-parametric and Bayesian statistics do not necessarily make this assumption, while Euclidian statistics refers to a type of geometry and is not directly related to statistical analysis.
