Final answer:

The Kruskal-Wallis test is not the repeated measures non-parametric equivalent. The correct test for repeated measures data is the Friedman test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is b. False.

The Kruskal-Wallis test is actually a non-parametric equivalent of the one-way ANOVA test, not a repeated measures non-parametric equivalent. The Kruskal-Wallis test is used to compare the medians of three or more independent groups without assuming that the data follow a specific distribution.

On the other hand, the repeated measures non-parametric equivalent is the Friedman test, which is used to compare the medians of three or more dependent groups, where each subject is measured multiple times.
