Question: These data contain the ratings of a product by 14 respondents, balanced over gender
category. Our research question is whether men and women judge our products similarly.

Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis: There is no difference between the mean ratings of men and women.
Alternative Hypothesis: There is difference between the mean ratings of men and women.
Critical Value: 8; Reject the null hypothesis if U ≤ 8.
Alpha Value: α = 0.05

a. Not corrected for ties.
b. Grouping Variable: Gender

Result: Since U ≥ 8 and all the P values is more than 0.05, we accept the null hypothesis.
Conclusion: The mean ratings of men and women are equal. It didn't show a gender difference.

Kruskal-Wallis H Test

Question: Three teaching methods were tested on a group of 19 students with homogeneous
backgrounds in statistics and comparable aptitudes. Each student was randomly assigned to a
method and at the end of a 6-week program was given a standardized exam. The results are
shown in the table below. Test for a difference in distributions (medians) of the test scores for the
different teaching methods using the Kruskal-Wallis test.
Teaching Test Score Teaching Test Score Teaching Test Score
Method Method Method
Method A 97 Method B 85 Method C 92
Method A 90 Method B 88 Method C 71
Method A 93 Method B 82 Method C 75
Method A 77 Method B 87 Method C 79
Method A 90 Method B 63 Method C 72
Method A 100 Method B 83 Method C 68
Method B 75

Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis: The median test scores are equal.
Alternative Hypothesis: Not all of the median test scores are equal.
Critical Value: 5.730; Reject if chi-square≥ 5.730
Alpha Value: α = 0.05

Result: Since chi-square value 7.509 is greater
than the critical value 5.730 and p-value 0.023 is less than the alpha value 0.05, we reject the null
hypothesis.
Conclusion:
We can conclude that, not all the median test scores are equal, there is a difference in the median
test scores (and, hence, the mean test scores) among the three teaching methods.
Linear Regression
Question: The table below shows the years of experience of 20 salesperson and their last years sale in
dollar. Is there any correlation between their years of experience and sales?

6.0 13400 6.8 13500
3.0 5580 6.0 12300
4.0 8800 3.2 6340
Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis: There is no correlation between years of experience and last year sales.
Alternative Hypothesis: There is a correlation between years of experience and last year sales.
Critical Value: 0.444. (Degree of freedom=n-2=18)

a. Dependent Variable: Last year sales

Result: As P=.000 ≤ 0.05, we reject the null hypothesis.


Conclusion: This table indicates that the regression model predicts the dependent variable significantly
well. We can conclude that there is a correlation between years of experience and last year sales.
