Dear all,
I am having trouble trying to find the right test for my research data, and I was wondering if somebody could help me out!
These are the hypothesis:
With the follow variable characteristics:
H1: Independent = Binary variable (yes/no) Dependent = Ratio, discreet (# of employees)
H2: Independent = Binary variable (yes/no) Dependent = Ratio, continous ($ business value)
H3: Independent = Ordinal scale (5-point scale) Dependent = Ratio, discreet (# of employees)
H4: Independent = Ordinal scale (5-point scale) Dependent = Ratio, continous ($ business value)
I am getting confused deciding which test I should use because of the binary and the ordinal scale variables. I'm guessing it's got to be some non-parametric tests, chi-square for H1 & H2 maybe?
Thank you for your help.

These are the hypothesis:
- The development of any proprietary technology, processes or procedures by a new firm is likely to positively affect the number of employees of that firm over time.
- The development of any proprietary technology, processes or procedures by a new firm is likely to positively affect the business value of that firm over time.
- A positive attitude toward innovation in a new firm is likely to positively affect the number of employees of that firm over time.
