Use a = .05 and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to see whether there is a significant difference between the median miles per gallon for the additives. Use Table 1 of Appendix B.
a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses?
Ho : Median for Additive 1 - Median for Additive 2 equal to 0
Ha : Median for Additive 1 - Median for Additive 2 not equal to 0
b. What is the mean and standard deviation of the normal distribution that can be used for this statistical test (to 4 decimals if necessary)?
