Univariate tests of significance are used to test a proposition about a sample characteristic against a known or given standard. Option A is false, as univariate tests can only test a single variable at a time. Option C and D are also incorrect, as univariate tests are generally simpler than multivariate tests and can be used even when only one group is involved. Option E is partially correct, as the chi square statistic can be used as a univariate test for categorical data, but it is not always applicable for continuous data.
