Listed below are amounts of strontium-90 (in millibecquerels, or mBq, per gram of calcium) in a simple random sample by baby teeth obtained from Pennsylvania residents and New York residents born after 1979. Use a 0.05 significance level and Wilcoxon rank-sum test to test the claim that the median amount of strontium-90 from Pennsylvania residents is the same as the median from New York residents.

Which of the non-parametric test for ordinal data is the best to use in the given scenario?
An experiment was conducted to compare the strengths of two types of elastic bandages: one a standard bandage of a specified weight and the other the same standard but treated with a chemical substance. Ten pieces of each were randomly selected from production. Does the treated bandage tend to be stronger than the standard?
