Chapter 15.1, Problem 6E
Reconsider the situation described in Exercise 39 of Section 9.3, and use the Wilcoxon test to test the appropriate hypotheses.
39. Scientists and engineers frequently wish to compare two different techniques for measuring or determining the value of a variable. In such situations, interest centers on testing whether the mean difference in measurements is zero. The article “Evaluation of the Deuterium Dilution Technique Against the Test Weighing Procedure for the Determination of Breast Milk Intake” (Amer. J. of Clinical Nutr., 1983: 996–1003) reports the accompanying data on amount of milk ingested by each of 14 randomly selected infants.

- a. Is it plausible that the population distribution of differences is normal?
- b. Does it appear that the true average difference between intake values measured by the two methods is something other than zero? Determine the P-value of the test, and use it to reach a conclusion at significance level .05.

Task Description:
Read the following case study and answer the questions that follow.
Ella is a 9-year-old third-grade student in an inclusive classroom. She has been diagnosed with Emotional and Behavioural Disorder (EBD). She has been struggling academically and socially due to
challenges related to self-regulation, impulsivity, and emotional outbursts. Ella's behaviour includes frequent tantrums, defiance toward authority figures, and difficulty forming positive relationships with peers. Despite her challenges, Ella shows an interest in art and creative activities and demonstrates strong verbal skills when calm.
Describe 2 strategies that could be implemented that could help Ella regulate her emotions in class (4 marks)
Explain 2 strategies that could improve Ella’s social skills (4 marks)
Identify 2 accommodations that could be implemented to support Ella academic progress and provide a rationale for your recommendation.(6 marks)

Question 2: When John started his first job, his first end-of-year salary was $82,500. In the following years, he received salary raises as shown in the following table.
Fill the Table: Fill the following table showing his end-of-year salary for each year. I have already provided the end-of-year salaries for the first three years. Calculate the end-of-year salaries for the remaining years using Excel. (If you Excel answer for the top 3 cells is not the same as the one in the following table, your formula / approach is incorrect) (2 points)
Geometric Mean of Salary Raises: Calculate the geometric mean of the salary raises using the percentage figures provided in the second column named “% Raise”. (The geometric mean for this calculation should be nearly identical to the arithmetic mean. If your answer deviates significantly from the mean, it's likely incorrect. 2 points)
