Binomial Test
There are many populations that are dichotomous in nature. Examples of such
classes are male and female, married and single, right-handed and left-handed,
professional and nonprofessional, ethical and unethical, religious and nonreligious,
parametric and nonparametric, etc. In each case, all observations will fall into one of the
two possible outcomes. In this setting, we can apply one of the nonparametric statistical
test called-Binomial Test.
SELF-CHECK!!!
After finishing this module, you are expected to achieve the following
objectives
1. Describe function of Binomial Test
2. Familiarize yourself with the procedures in applying Binomial Test.
3. Solve exercises related to Binomial Test.
