Use a 0.05 level of significance to determine whether there is a significant difference between the winter and summer months in terms of the number of crime reports.
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
H0: Median number of daily crime reports for winter − Median number of daily crime reports for summer < 0
Ha: Median number of daily crime reports for winter − Median number of daily crime reports for summer = 0
 
H0: Median number of daily crime reports for winter − Median number of daily crime reports for summer ≥ 0
Ha: Median number of daily crime reports for winter − Median number of daily crime reports for summer < 0    
 
H0: The two populations of daily crime reports are not identical.
Ha: The two populations of daily crime reports are identical.
 
H0: Median number of daily crime reports for winter − Median number of daily crime reports for summer ≤ 0
Ha: Median number of daily crime reports for winter − Median number of daily crime reports for summer > 0
 
H0: The two populations of daily crime reports are identical.
Ha: The two populations of daily crime reports are not identical.
Find the value of the test statistic.
W = 
Find the p-value. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
p-value = 
What is your conclusion?
Do not reject H0. There is not sufficient evidence to conclude that there is a significant difference between the winter and summer months in terms of the number of crime reports.
