What statistical tests can I use on data collected from quota samples?

The simple answer is you cannot use statistical tests on data collected from quota samples.
Unless the sample was collected using a random sampling technique you cannot have any confidence in the results being representative of the population you are sampling. Quota samples are non random.
However this does not stop researchers from using statistical tests on quota samples, even if the results can be taken with a pinch of salt!

You can use statistical tests appropriate for categorical data, such as chi-square tests or Fisher's exact test for associations between variables. For continuous data, you can use t-tests or non-parametric tests like Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test. It's important to consider the limitations of quota sampling in interpreting the results.

How do you tell if two samples are signficantly different?
Statistical tests like t-tests or ANOVA can be used to determine if two samples are significantly different. These tests compare means of the samples, account for sample size, and calculate a p-value to determine if the difference is significant. A p-value below a chosen significance level (commonly 0.05) indicates that the samples are significantly different.
What type of samples are collected from the respiratory system for tests?
The only two "types" of samples that I know of are: 1. Sputum sample 2. Biopsy sample of the lungs Hope this helps.
Definition of independent sample.?
Independent samples are a set of observations or data points that are not influenced by or related to each other. Each sample is collected without affecting or being affected by the other samples, allowing for statistical analysis to make conclusions about a broader population. This lack of relationship between the samples is important for ensuring the validity of statistical tests and analyses.
What experiments do geologists conduct?
I suppose hardness and density tests on rock samples. Making seismic soundings and measuring the results, analyzing the data collected.
What laboratory tests require blood collected in a heparin tube?
Laboratory tests that require blood collected in a heparin tube include activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), thrombin time, and some specialized tests for specific proteins involved in blood clotting. Heparin is an anticoagulant that prevents blood from clotting and is often used in tests that require plasma samples.
What can one do with a histology technician certification?
You can work in a private medical lab, or at an hospital. You will have to analyse samples collected from patients and run tests to look for diseases, or count blood cells, as an example.
What are examples of parametric and nonparametric statistical tests?
Parametric statistical tests assume that your data are normally distributed (follow a classic bell-shaped curve). An example of a parametric statistical test is the Student's t-test.Non-parametric tests make no such assumption. An example of a non-parametric statistical test is the Sign Test.
Is Paired samples T-test an example of nonparametric tests?
A paired samples t-test is an example of parametric (not nonparametric) tests.

When is a pie chart would be most appropriate with statistical tests?
A pie chart is never, ever, appropriate for statistical tests. It can be a useful way of illustrating results but it has no usefulness in testing.
What kind of tests are used to analyze data for experimental treatments in biology?
Dose response tests are used, which are a kind of statistical tests.
