Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov one-sample test uses the test statistic K, which is the maximum absolute difference between the empirical distribution function of the sample and the theoretical distribution function. Therefore, the correct formula is K = Max |F(x) - G(x)|, where F(x) is the empirical distribution function of the sample and G(x) is the theoretical distribution function. Choice C is the formula that correctly represents K.
