Abstract

This chapter discusses the analysis of data in quantitative research and the most common strategies to follow. Undergraduate students in most programmes may not necessarily need to use advanced statistical analysis. This chapter takes the readers through parametric and non-parametric tests. Readers will be able to grasp measurement tests that are appropriate for several quantitative data analysis in research projects. The differences between parametric and non-parametric tests are examined and explored in some detail. The assumptions for parametric and non-parametric measures are also highlighted and relevant examples provided and should enable the reader to select appropriate measures for their research projects.
