Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dividing data into two equal sized-groups on the basis of one variable is called a median split. This is useful when exploring the relationship between two variables and helps to compare the differences between the two groups. Methods such as correlation, chi-square, and t-test are used to analyze the relationship between variables or test for significant differences between groups but are not involved in the process of dividing the data into two equal sized-groups. Therefore, the best choice is B - Median Split.
