Continuous variable (not normal distribution or outliers)
2) Another independent variable (nominal, 3 or more categories)
Ethnicity
Profession
3) Independence of observations
No paired samples, each participant is part of only one group
4) Same distribution shape for all groups
If distribution of data in each groups have
Similar shape (same variability)
Use medians to compare differences between groups
Different shape
Use mean ranks compare differences between groups
