The following data represent lifetimes (hours) of batteries for two different brands:
| Brand A | 40 | 30 | 40 | 45 | 55 | 30 |
| Brand B: | 50 | 50 | 45 | 55 | 60 | 40 |
Test whether two brands are the same.
Explanation
we use Wilcoxon two-sample test to the following data
Let n 1 be the number of breakdown times in the Brand A with median time m 1, and n 2 the number of breakdown times in the Brand B with median time m 2. Then the hypothesis is… (284 more words) …
