Wilcoxon Two-Sample Test.

1. The saturated fats of two brands (Brand A and Brand B) of junk foods
measured in grams are as follows:

A 4.5 6.1 6.0 5.3 4.7 5.8 4.6 5.5 4.8 5.6 5.7 5.9 5.1 4.6

B 6.5 4.9 4.6 5.6 4.9 5.4 5.6 5.2 5.0 4.5 4.6

Test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance that the average saturated fats
of two brands of junk foods are equal.

2. Of the nine selected patients who reached an advanced stage of cancer, four
were treated with new type of dialysis and five were not. The survival time, in
years, was reckoned from the time the experiment was conducted. Using
Wilcoxon rank-sum test at 0.05 level of significance to test whether the new
type of dialysis is effective, consider the following data below.
Treatment 2.5 1.3 3.1 5.3

No Treatment 0.9 1.3 1.2 2.0 1.7
