Using the following data, the Wilcoxon signed-rank hypothesis test is used to test the hypothesis that the test results of a treatment after training are greater than the test results before the treatment. The Wilcoxon critical value is 3 for n = 7 with a 0.05 significance level. What decision should be made regarding the null hypothesis? Test Score Before 35 39 36 26 30 36 45 Test Score After 50 39 45 38 29 33 44 a) Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the "after" is greater than "before" b) Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the "before" is greater than "after." c) Fail to reject the null hypothesis d) Reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there is no difference between the "before" and "after."

Step 1
Calculate the differences between the "before" and "after" test scores: 50-35 = 15 39-39 = 0 45-36 = 9 38-26 = 12 29-30 = -1 33-36 = -3 44-45 = -1 Show more…

In a Wilcoxon signed rank test, the test statistic is calculated as 20. If there are n=10 observations for which Ha D>0, and a test is performed at the 5% significance level, then: A )reject the null hypothesis B )dont reject the null hypothesis C )the test results are inconclusive D )perform a parametric test

b. Calculate the value of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test statistic T. Test statistic c.The p-value for the test is found to be equal to 0.156. At the 5% significance level, is the median stock price greater than $60.91? Yes, since we reject the null hypothesis Yes, since we do not reject the null hypothesis. No, since we reject the null hypothesis. No, since we do not reject the null hypothesis.

For Exercises 3 through $12,$ use the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Assume that the samples are independent. Also perform each of these steps. a. State the hypotheses and identify the claim. b. Find the critical value(s). c. Compute the test value. d. Make the decision. e. Summarize the results. Use the traditional method of hypothesis testing unless otherwise specified.

At $\alpha=0.05$ can it be concluded that there is a difference? (Table cannot copy)
