Exam 19: Further Non-Parametric Tests

A non-parametric test for testing the difference between two proportions from related samples is known as the ____.

Instruction 19-5 The director of the MBA program of a university wanted to know if a one week orientation would change the proportion among potential incoming students who would perceive the program as being good. Given below is the result from 215 students' view of the program before and after the orientation. After the Orientation Before the Orientation Good Not Good Total Good 93 37 130 Not Good 71 14 85 Total 164 51 215 -Referring to Instruction 19-5,the Friedman rank test is valid only if the five blocks are independent so that the yields in one block have no influence on the yields in any other block.

Instruction 19-1 The director of transportation of a large company is interested in the usage of her van pool. She considers her routes to be divided into local and non-local. She is particularly interested in learning if there is a difference in the proportion of males and females who use the local routes. She takes a sample of a day's riders and finds the following: Male Female Total Local 27 44 71 Non-Local 33 25 5 Total 60 69 129 She will use this information to perform a chi-square hypothesis test using a level of significance of 0.05. -Referring to Instruction 19-1,the director now wants to know if the proportion of users who are male and the proportion of users who use the local routes are the same.What should be her conclusion?

The Wilcoxon rank sum test is a non-parametric test for testing the difference between two ____from independent samples.

The McNemar test is approximately distributed as a standardised normal random variable.

If the assumptions of the one-way ANOVA F test are not met,which of the following test could be used?

If the number of blocks in the experiment is more than five,the Friedman rank test statistic can be approximated by a standardised normal distribution.

If the number of blocks in the experiment is more than five,the Friedman rank test statistic can be approximated by a chi-square distribution.

Instruction 19-3 A perfume manufacturer is trying to choose between two magazine advertising layouts. An expensive layout would include a small package of the perfume. A cheaper layout would include a 'scratch-and-sniff' sample of the product. The manufacturer would use the more expensive layout only if there is evidence that it would lead to a higher approval rate. The manufacturer presents both layouts to five groups and determines the approval rating from each group on both layouts. The data are given below. Use this to test whether the median difference in approval rating is different from zero in favour of the more expensive layout with a level of significance of 0.05.

A non-parametric test for testing the difference between two medians from independent samples is known as the ____.

Instruction 19-4 An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of three varieties of chickpea seeds. She plants all three varieties of the seeds on each of five different patches of fields. She then measures the crop yield in bushels per acre. Treating this as a randomised block design, the results are presented in the table that follows.

Suppose there is interest in comparing the median response time for three independent groups learning a specific task.The appropriate nonparametric procedure is ____.

One disadvantage of the Wilcoxon rank sum test,as compared to the t test,is that Wilcoxon rank sum test is much less powerful.

The McNemar test is used to determine whether there is evidence of a difference between the proportions of two related samples.

If the sample sizes in each group are more than five,the Kruskal-Wallis rank test statistic can be approximated by a standardised normal distribution.

Instruction 19-6 An agronomist wants to compare the crop yield of three varieties of chickpea seeds. She plants all three varieties of the seeds on each of five different patches of fields. She then measures the crop yield in bushels per acre. Treating this as a randomised block design, the results are presented in the table that follows.
