3. Mann-Whitney Test - Large Samples - Future Vision Issue: The managers of a local TV station believe median household income for cable subscribers is less than the median for those who do not subscribe. Objective: Use Excel 2007 to perform the appropriate nonparametric statistical test. Date file is Future-Vision.xls Rank file is Future-Vision-Ranks.xls

4. Large Sample Mann-Whitney Test – Future Vision Open the Excel file FutureVision.xls to view the actual data. Income data must be converted to ranks.

5. Large Sample Mann-Whitney Test – Future Vision Open the Excel file Future- Vision-Ranks.xls to view the ranked data separated into Non Cable and Cable columns. Hypothesis will be: H o : Med c > Med nc H a : Med c < Med nc

6. Large Sample Mann-Whitney Test – Future Vision Sum the ranks of each column to compute the U-value. Using equations 17.2 and 17.3 respectively, U(noncable) = 27,412 U(cable) =30,764 Need to look at the alternative hypothesis to decide which is U U(noncable) = U = 27,412 Using Equations 17.4 and 17.5 μ = 29,088; σ = 1,631.43 Using Equation 17-6 z = -1.027 Using α = -1.645 Do not reject the null hypothesis and conclude that noncable families having higher median incomes than cable families is not supported

7. Kruskal-Wallis Test - Amalgamated Sugar Issue: The company is interested in determining whether there is a difference in down-time between its three operational shifts. Objective: Use Excel 2007 to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in downtime between the three shifts. Data file is Amalgamated.xls
