Some Statisticians Have Shown That Instead of Using the Special

Multiple Choice

Some statisticians have shown that instead of using the special procedures in rank-order tests, you get about the same results if you transform scores into ranks and then:

A) figure a Spearman Z
B) find the mean of the scores' inverses
C) apply all the usual arithmetic for calculating an ordinary parametric test, such as a t test
D) apply all the usual arithmetic for calculating a typical nonparametric test, such as a Wilcoxon signed-rank test
