Chapter Chapter 9 in Nonparametric Statistics for Applied Research, 2014, pp 203-225 from Springer Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the reader to two tests of difference: the Permutation Test for Two Independent Samples and the Moses test for Scale Differences. Both tests require at least interval scale data and are considered amidst a journalistic firestorm. The team must work through the calculations for these two tests to make an attempt at clearing the Governor’s name. Log Transformation, Dispersion Indices, and Random Number Tables are discussed in relation to the Moses test for Scale Differences. The two research questions addressed in this chapter are as follows: (1) Are two Independent samples significantly different from one another? (2) Is the Variability the same between two groups? These questions are addressed in terms of the story line by two specific research questions: (1) Are General Aggression Scores significantly different from one another on the basis of ethnicity/race of the offender? (2) Is the variability the same for the General Aggression Scores based on offense?
