  • A.Parametric test
  • B.Validity test
  • C.Reliability test
  • D.Non-parametric test

Answer: D

Chi-square is a non-parametric test.

Parametric tests such as the t-test assume the data come from a population with a particular distribution, usually normal, and estimate its parameters such as the mean. The chi-square test makes no such assumption about the population: it compares observed frequencies in categories with the frequencies expected under a hypothesis, and works with nominal or ordinal data. That is why it is classed as non-parametric (distribution-free).

Validity and reliability are properties of a measuring instrument, assessed by other procedures; they are not types of statistical significance test.
