The researcher in the area of tourism should go beyond the simple description of his findings; it is desirable to make statements formulating a null hypothesis that must then be tested or not and answer the key question: Is the apparent difference that has been found in the research work trustworthy? In order to answer this question it can only be achieved by applying the basic criteria of evaluation or inferential statistics.Downloads
