Question

In another comparison of study guides A and B, the following scores were obtained (out of 100): Use the Wilcoxon test to test the null hypothesis that the distributions of scores are the same for each study guide, against the two-sided alternative that the distributions are different. Calculate W, the observed sum of ranks of the study guide A scores. What is the mean of W, under the null hypothesis? What is the variance of W, under the null hypothesis? Calculate the standardized test statistic. Which of the statistical tables should you use? X^2 - distribution z - distribution t - distribution Calculate the p-value for the test.

Observed sum of Ranks for A = 50

Mean of W = 39.0

Variance of W= 38.044

Test statistic = 1.783
