videos. You may also wish to review the information about inferential statistics from Week 3. In this discussion, you will evaluate a research question and determine how that question might best be analyzed. To do this, you will need to explain statistical concepts and assess assumptions, limitations, and implications associated with statistical tests.A researcher wishes to study the effect of cognitive behavior therapy on young people diagnosed with depression. Consider and discuss the following questions as you respond:
Would you recommend using a z test, a t test, or an ANOVA for the analysis? Explain your answer.

Would the hypothesis be directional or nondirectional?
Would the test be one or two tailed?
How would the null and alternative hypotheses be worded?
