Which test is appropriate for discrete data with two groups?

  1. Kruskal-wallis test

  2. Student T-test

  3. Chi-square test

  4. Fisher's exact test

The correct answer is: Fisher's exact test

The question is asking for the appropriate statistical test to use when analyzing two groups of discrete data. Kruskal-wallis test is suitable for comparing more than two groups. Student T-test is used for continuous variables, not discrete data. Chi-square test is used for categorical data with more than two groups, while Fisher's exact test is specifically designed for discrete data with only two groups. Therefore, Fisher's exact test is the most appropriate choice for this question.
