The data were processed by using SPSS 17 version and Microsoft Office Excel 2007. To check the hypothesis on the normality of the distribution the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test and Shapiro–Wilk test have been employed. Shapiro–Wilk test is recommended for small sample sizes, while Kolmogorov-Smirnov test – for large sample sizes. In addition, the advantage of Shapiro–Vilk test is that it provides the statistics on the qualitative assessment of the deviation of the variable from the normal distribution. |
