A contingency table is also referred to as:
histogram
scatterplot
frequency table
cross-tabulation table

regression
ANOVA
chi-square
Which of the following is an advantage of using nonparametric statistical procedures?
Non-parametric statistics are less restricted by assumptions
Non-parametric statistics have less statistical power
