Applying the Concepts and SkillsIn Exercises, perform a Kruskal–Wallis test by using either the critical-value approach or the P-value approach.Spider Mites. The reproduction capability of spider mites infected with a bacteria called Cardinium was studied in the article “Cardinium Symbionts Cause Cytoplasmic Incompatibility in Spider Mites” (Heredity, Vol. 98, No. 1, pp. 13–20) by T. Gotoh et al. Infected mites were crossed with mites treated with antibiotics. The following table shows the number of eggs per female for each combination tested. Here we use “A” for antibiotic-treated, “I” for infected, “M” for male, and “F” for female.

At the 10% significance level, do the data provide sufficient evidence to conclude that a difference exists in mean number of eggs among the four combinations?
Using the Kruskal-Wallis Test. In Exercises 5–8, use the Kruskal-Wallis test.
Car Crash Measurements Use the following listed chest deceleration measurements (in g , where g is the force of gravity) from samples of small, midsize, and large cars. (These values are from Data Set 19 “Car Crash Tests” in Appendix B.) Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the different size categories have the same median chest deceleration in the standard crash test. Do the data suggest that larger cars are safer?
The table below summarizes a data set we first encountered in Exercise 6.29 that examines the responses of a random sample of college graduates and nongraduates on the topic of oil drilling. Complete a chi-square test for these data to check whether there is a statistically significant difference in responses from college graduates and non-graduates.
χ2:?
df:?
Conclusion:
There is insufficient evidence that there is an association between support for off-shore drilling and having a college degree
There is strong evidence that the proportion of those supporting off-shore drilling is greater than those having a college degree
There is insufficient evidence that the proportion of those supporting off-shore drilling is greater than those having a college degree
There is strong evidence that there is an association between support for off-shore drilling and having a college degree

One of its products is a traditional three-strand climbing rope. An important characteristic of any climbing rope is its tensile strength.

Descent regularly tests the tensile strength of its ropes by randomly selecting them to various tests. The most recent random sample of ropes, taken after the new equipment was installed at the Bozeman plant, revealed the following: Bozeman Challis x̅1 = 7,200 lb x̅2 = 7,087 lb s1 = 425 s2 = 415 n1 = 25 n2 = 20 Descent’s production managers are willing to assume that the population of tensile strengths for each plant is approximately normally distributed with equal variances.
