Statistical Test selection

RebeccaFaye — Thu, 15 Dec 2022 16:13:14 GMT

Hello,

I want to test for each age category if there is a significant difference by year, and I'm forgetting what statistically test I would use.

Year	Age_1	Age_2	Age_3	Age_4	Age_5	Age_6	Age_7
2019	38	544	1582	1330	886	536	134
2020	38	508	1765	1522	824	531	153
2021	34	495	1955	1843	1122	711	209

Thank you

Significant difference of what? The means? For AGE_1, you want to compare 38 to 38 to 34? Are these three numbers the means?

I'm afraid you can't do any statistical testing unless you have the raw data and multiple data points for each AGE/Year combination — or — you have the standard deviations and number of data points in each cell.
