7. What are the advantages and drawbacks of non parametric methods over parametric methods? Describe the procedure of median test to test the hypothesis. What non parametric test would you use when two samples are related? A certain type of light bulb produced by two different manufacturers, \( X \) and \( Y \), by testing 10 bulbs selected at random from each of the outputs. The data, in hundreds of hours used before failure are as follows: \[ \begin{array}{l} x: 5.64 .66 .84 .96 .15 .34 .55 .85 .44 .7 \\ y: 7.28 .15 .17 .36 .97 .85 .96 .76 .57 .1 \end{array} \] Use the Wilcoxon test to test the equality of medians of the failure times at the approximate \( 5 \% \) significance level.

(A Two-Tailed t Test Example) An inventor has developed a new, energy-efficient lawn mower engine. He claims that the engine will run continuously for 5 hours (300 minutes) on a single gallon of regular gasoline. Suppose a simple random sample of 50 engines is tested. The engines run for an average of 295 minutes, with a standard deviation of 20 minutes. Test the null hypothesis that the mean run time is 300 minutes against the alternative hypothesis that the mean run time is not 300 minutes. Use a 0.05 level of significance. (Assume that run times for the population of engines are normally distributed.) To answer the question: State the hypotheses: Ho: μ = 300 vs Ha: μ ≠ 300

Multiple choice: Select the best answer for Exercises 67 to 70. One major reason that the two-sample t procedures are widely used is that they are quite robust. This means that (a) t procedures do not require that we know the standard deviations of the populations. (b) t procedures work even when the Random, Normal, and Independent conditions are violated. (c) t procedures compare population means, a comparison that answers many practical questions. (d) confidence levels and $P$-values from the $t$ procedures are quite accurate even if the population distribution is not exactly Normal. (e) confidence levels and $P$-values from the t procedures are quite accurate even if outliers and strong skewness are present.
