Ho: The observations in the sample are randomly generated.
Ha: The observations in the sample are not randomly generated.
This is a small sample runs test since n1, n2 < 20
= .05, The lower tail critical value is 6 and the upper tail critical value is 16
n1 = 10
n2 = 10
R = 11
Since R = 11 is between the two critical values, the decision is to fail to reject the
null hypothesis.
The data are random.

Since the observed value of Z = -4.55 < Z.025 = -1.96, the decision is to reject the
null hypothesis. The data are not randomly generated.

17.3
n1 = 8
n2 = 52
= .05
This is a two-tailed test and /2 = .025. The p-value from the printout is .0264.
Since the p-value is the lowest value of alpha for which the null hypothesis can
be rejected, the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis
(p-value = .0264 > .025). There is not enough evidence to reject that the data are
randomly generated.
17.4
The observed number of runs is 18. The mean or expected number of runs
is 14.333. The p value for this test is .1452. Thus, the test is not significant
at alpha of .05 or .025 for a two-tailed test. The decision is to fail to reject the
null hypothesis. There is not enough evidence to declare that the data are not
random. Therefore, we must conclude that the data a randomly generated.
17.5

Since n1, n2 > 20, use large sample runs test
= .05 Since this is a two-tailed test, /2 = .025, Z.025 = + 1.96. If the
observed value of Z is greater than 1.96 or less than -1.96, the decision is to reject
the null hypothesis.

R
3.716
Since the observed Z of -1.08 is greater than the critical lower tail Z value
of -1.96, the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. The data are
randomly generated.
17.6

n1 = 5 n2 = 8 n = 13 = .05
Since this is a two-tailed test, /2 = .025
From Table A.11, the lower critical value is 3
From Table A.11, the upper critical value is 11
R=4
Since R = 4 > than the lower critical value of 3 and less than the upper critical
value of 11, the decision is to fail to reject the null hypothesis. The data are
randomly generated.
17.7
Ho: Group 1 is identical to Group 2

Ha: Group 1 is not identical to Group 2
Use the small sample Mann-Whitney U test since both n1, n2 < 10, = .05.
Since this is a two-tailed test, /2 = .025. The p-value is obtained using Table
A.13.

We use the small U which is 26.5

From Table A.13, the p-value for U = 27 is .3227(2) = .6454
Since this p-value is greater than /2 = .025, the decision is to fail to reject the

Since the observed value of r2 = 13.4 > 2.05,2 = 5.99147, the decision is to
17.29 C = 4 treatments
26
b = 5 blocks
S = r2 = 2.04 with a p-value of .564.

Since the p-value of .564 > = .10, .05, or .01, the decision is to fail to reject
the null hypothesis. There is no significant difference in treatments.
17.30 The experimental design is a random block design that has been analyzed using a
Friedman test. There are five treatment levels and seven blocks. Thus, the
degrees of freedom are four. The observed value of S = 13.71 is the equivalent of
r2. The p value is .009 indicating that this test is significant at alpha .01. The
null hypothesis is rejected. That is, at least one population yields larger values
than at least one other population. An examination of estimated medians shows
that treatment 1 has the lowest value and treatment 3 has the highest value

H0: The observations in the sample were randomly generated.
Ha: The observations in the sample were not randomly generated
From Table A.11, lower tail critical value = 10
From Table A.12, upper tail critical value = 22
R = 21
Since R = 21 between the two critical values, the decision is to fail to reject the
null hypothesis. The observations were randomly generated.

T+ = 5.5 + 8.5 + 5.5 = 19.5
T = 19.5
From Table A.14, using n = 12, the critical T for = .01, one-tailed, is 10.
Since T = 19.5 is not less than or equal to the critical T = 10, the decision is to fail
to reject the null hypothesis.

hypothesis.
17.61 This problem uses a random block design which is analyzed by the Friedman
nonparametric test. There are 4 treatments and 10 blocks. The value of the
observed r2 (shown as s) is 12.16 (adjusted for ties) which has an associated
p-value of .007 which is significant at = .01. At least one treatment population
yields larger values than at least one other treatment population. Examining the
treatment medians, treatment one has an estimated median of 20.125 and
treatment two has a treatment median of 25.875. These two are the farthest apart.
17.62 This is a Runs test for randomness. n1 = 21, n2 = 29. Because of the size of the
ns, this is a large sample Runs test. There are 28 runs, R = 28.
R = 25.36
Z =
R = 3.34

The p-value for this statistic is .4387 for a two-tailed test. The decision is to fail
to reject the null hypothesis at = .05.

17.63 A large sample Mann-Whitney U test is being computed. There are 16

observations in each group. The null hypothesis is that the two populations are
identical. The alternate hypothesis is that the two populations are not identical.
The value of W is 191.5. The p-value for the test is .0067. The test is significant
at = .01. The decision is to reject the null hypothesis. The two populations are
not identical. An examination of medians shows that the median for group two
(46.5) is larger than the median for group one (37.0).
17.64 A Kruskal-Wallis test has been used to analyze the data. The null hypothesis is
that the four populations are identical; and the alternate hypothesis is that at least
one of the four populations is different. The H statistic (same as the K statistic) is
11.28 when adjusted for ties. The p-value for this H value is .010 which indicates
that there is a significant difference in the four groups at = .05 and marginally
so for = .01. An examination of the medians reveals that all group medians are
the same (35) except for group 2 which has a median of 25.50. It is likely that it
is group 2 that differs from the other groups.
