Chapter 13.4, Problem 8BSC
Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test. In Exercises 5–8, use the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
8. Blanking Out on Tests In a study of students blanking out on tests, the arrangement of test items was studied for its effect on anxiety. The following scores are measures of “debilitating test anxiety” (based on data from “Item Arrangement, Cognitive Entry Characteristics, Sex and Test Anxiety as Predictors of Achievement in Examination Performance,” by Klimko, Journal of Experimental Education, Vol. 52, No. 4.) Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the two samples are from populations with different medians? Is there sufficient evidence to support the claim that the arrangement of the test items has an effect on the score? Use a 0.01 significance level.

Chi-Square Analysis
A company records the number of absences of their employees to assess productivity. The following table is obtained from a sample of absences in a random week:
Day
Mon
Tue
Wed
Thu
Fri
Number of absences
2
9
6
7
7
An HR representative claims that the absences have an equal frequency per day on a regular week. At the 5% level of significance, test this claim by performing the appropriate Chi-square test.
1. Compute for the value of the test statistic. Round off your final answer to the nearest thousandths.
2. What are the appropriate hypotheses?
3. What is the critical value in the decision rule? (3 decimals)
4. What is the appropriate conclusion?
Large Data Sets from Appendix B. In Exercises 17 and 18, use the data set from Appendix B to test the given claim. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, or critical value(s), then state the conclusion about the null hypothesis, as well as the final conclusion that addresses the original claim.
Mint Specs Repeat Exercise 16 using the weights of the 37 post-1983 pennies included in Data Set 29 “Coin Weights” in Appendix B.
A study compared five different methods for teaching statistics. The five methods were traditional lecture and discussion, programmed textbook instruction, programed text with lectures, online instruction and online instruction with scheduled lectures. 75 students were randomly assigned to each method. After completing the course, students took a final comprehensive exam.
(a) What are the hypotheses for evaluating if the average test scores are different for the different teaching methods?
(b) What are the degrees of freedom associated with the F-test for evaluating these hypotheses?
(c) Suppose the p-value for this test is 0.0168. What is the conclusion?

To inves-tigate, a group of Statistics students cut ads out of maga-zines. They were careful to find two ads for each of 10 similar items, one with a sexual image and one with-out. They arranged the ads in random order and had 39 subjects look at them for one minute. Then they askedthe subjects to list as many of the products as they couldremember.
