Question

The white blood cell counts (in thousand unit) for five patients with leukaemia condition are shown below.

Subject	1	2	3	4	5
NBC count	19	31	1.3	1.5	43

Based on Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, an approximate 95% confidence interval for the median is

a. (0.1 , 6.2)

b. (0 , 7.3)

c. (1.3 , 17)

d. None

and we are------------confident that the median population is within that interval

a. 95%

b. 93.74%

c. 94.10%

d. 94.51%

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
