In this assignment you will use statistical tests for non-normal data. You may use methods (non-parametric statistics tests) and tools (R, Excel, or SPSS) of your ownchoice - please don't rely on one tool or method, variety is expected. It is not necessary to replicate any test you carry out, ie if you perform a test inR it is not necessary to repeat in SPSS and/or Excel. A data file (from the 2011 Census of Ireland) is suggested, though students are permitted to choose a different file if they wish (subject to approval by Dr O'Loughlin). Your task is to prepare a statistical report based on the data in the file.UPDATE LINK:The Central Statistics Office provides data on "Small Area Population Statistics" – see:http://airo.maynoothuniversity.ie/files/dDATASTORE/small_areas/theme_11_small_areas.csvThis CSV file has 18,488 records based on 68 columns of data.
