Summary Introduction
To determine: The reason for using median-run test and up/down test on the same data.
Run test: It is a statistical tool that is used to examine a string of data which occurs randomly in a specific distribution. Usually, run test is used to examine identical events that are separated by dissimilar events.

Previous studies involved asking a set of 25 questions of a large number of IRS telephone representatives to determine the proportion of correct responses. Historically, the averageproportion of correct responses has been 72 percent. Recently, IRS representatives have been receiving more training. On April 26, the set of 25 tax questions were again asked of 20 randomly selected IRS telephone representatives. The numbers of correct answers were 18, 16, 19, 21, 20, 16,21, 16, 17, 10, 25, 18, 25, 16, 20, 15, 23, 19, 21, and 19. a.
