Question

Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test for Body Temperatures The table below lists body temperatures of seven subjects at 8 AM and at 12 AM (from Data Set 3 “Body Temperatures in Appendix B). The data are matched pairs because each pair of temperatures is measured from the same person. Assume that we plan to use the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test to test the claim of no difference between body temperatures at 8 AM and 12 AM.

a. What requirements must be satisfied for this test?

b. Is there any requirement that the samples must be from populations having a normal distribution or any other specific distribution?

c. In what sense is this sign test a “distribution-free test”?
