Kruskal-Wallis Test What parametric test can also be conducted instead of the Kruskal-Wallis test? What is an advantage of using the Kruskal-Wallis test instead of the parametric test?

In Exercises 5–8, use (a) randomization and (b) bootstrapping for the indicated exercise from Section 9-1. Compare the results to those obtained in the original exercise.

Exercise 8 in Section 9-1 “Tennis Challenges”

In Exercises 5–8, use (a) randomization and (b) bootstrapping for the indicated exercise from Section 9-1. Compare the results to those obtained in the original exercise.

Exercise 9 in Section 9-1 “Cell Phones and Handedness”

Wilcoxon Tests What is the difference between the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test?

In Exercises 1–10, use the following weights (g) of Hershey’s Kisses from Data Set 38 “Candies” in Appendix B.

" style="" width="780">

tTest The bag of Hershey’s Kisses includes 75 of the candies. According to the label, the total weight is 340 g, so the candies should have a mean weight of 340/75 = 4.5333 g. Use the sample of weights listed above to test the claim that they are from a population with a mean of 4.5333 g. Use a 0.05 significance level with a t test. What does the conclusion suggest about the claim of 340 g printed on the label?

In Exercises 1–10, use the following weights (g) of Hershey’s Kisses from Data Set 38 “Candies” in Appendix B.

Sign Test Repeat Exercise 3 using the sign test to test the claim that the sample of weights is from a population with a median of 4.5333 g.

In Exercises 1–10, use the following weights (g) of Hershey’s Kisses from Data Set 38 “Candies” in Appendix B.

Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test Repeat Exercise 3 using the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test to test the claim that the sample of weights is from a population with a median of 4.5333 g.

In Exercises 1–10, use a 0.05 significance level with the indicated test. If no particular test is specified, use the appropriate nonparametric test from this chapter.

World Series The last 114 baseball World Series ended with 66 wins by American League teams and 48 wins by National League teams. Use the sign test to test the claim that in each World Series, the American League team has a 0.5 probability of winning.
