Chapter 15.2, Problem 13E

The urinary fluoride concentration (parts per million) was measured both for a sample of livestock grazing in an area previously exposed to fluoride pollution and for a similar sample grazing in an unpolluted region:

Polluted 21.3 18.7 23.0 17.1 16.8 20.9 19.7
Unpolluted 14.2 18.3 17.2 18.4 20.0

Does the data indicate strongly that the true average fluoride concentration for livestock grazing in the polluted region is larger than for the unpolluted region? Use the Wilcoxon rank-sum test at level α = .01.
